Cafe Franzen - Haarlem

Drie verrassingsdiners waren heel goed. Met personeel en chef kok maakte het een leuke ervaring.

Personal attention from Martijn, Koch and his beautiful team. He promised top quality and delivered. Uncertain.

Such a warm welcome, an excellent surprise three course meal (for a very decent price) and very friendly hosts.?????????

Friendly and lively restaurant. Chef serves surprise menu that is always great. The best for groups on weekends as busy. As a couple we were treated big and moved to a quiet place.

Martijn cooks beautiful food. Perfectly cooked fish, precisely timed steak, amazingly successful Beef Wellingtons, and not just. His vegetables are always prepared to a high standard not overcooked, not too al dente, just right. And plentiful too. We have eaten quite a few delicious dinners from Martijn during lockdown, but today we ate at the Raecks, to celebrate well, to celebrate being able to GO to a restaurant. And it was wonderful. My husband had entrecote, I had dorade. With carpaccio to start (him) and an absolutely delicious tomato and lobster soup (me). Paired with a nice glass of godello for me and Richard just went for beer. Yum and bravo Team! We will be back soon!
