We dined at Te Koop after reading rave reviews about the food.

Whilst the taste in the beginning was good, the overall taste en experience of the main courses didnt leave an impact as I hoped. Forgettable maybe? So my overall experience here is good, and the dishes are really nice. I recommend people trying their food when visiting Tilburg. But for me and my limited visits to Tilburg, I will try to search for a...
