There is espresso and there is espresso. I think they make the best one in town. At least what I have tasted so for. It was fantastic ! Lot of restaurants could have a look here ....



So when you take a cappuccino ( 2 x p - 2 x c  @  JT256 :-) ) you taste the espresso, very well done I'll be a regular customer. Diederik you did a hell of a job, love your espresso machines by the way ...

Ron Gastrobar - Amsterdam

Ron Gastrobar
Sophialaan55 hs
1075 BP  Amsterdam
tel : +31 20 49 61 943

After Sophia, Ron Blaauw Amsterdam we're now with a new adventure of Mr. Ron Blaauw - RON Gastrobar. A new concept to what we were used to of Ron Blaauw. Small dishes served where ever you can find a seat. Nice music on the background and a very well serving staff. They feel at ease and on their place. It's more informal.

The dishes might be small but they are still good. High in taste, good quality ingredients and the taste experiences are less on a plate (in numbers) but what you taste is good. All dishes are priced standard for € 15. There are (can be) exceptions due to the nature of the ingredients. The only thing is where are the amuses ... The homemade butter with caramel taste and I think still the bread of Menno is perfect but I do miss them .....

The price is high, certainly compared to the old situation that I do prefer. Better dishes and at the end only a few euro's more expensive but a way better product. Will not visit it as much as I did when it just was Ron Blaauw Restaurant. A pity ....



Gebakken Zwezerik (sweet bread)
met boemboe, peentjes en spicy appeljus
the flavor of the appeljus .... what a treat

Zalm Sashimi (salmon)
met sesam, gember en yuzu
nice salmon

Koningskrab (kings crab)
met romige aardappelpuree, bieslook en schaaldierensaus
kingcrab is to die for could be more - mash too dominant

Gebakken Rogvleugel (sauted Ray)
met artisjok, lavas en citroen
love the taste of sauted rye

Wagyuburger
met dragoncreme en daslook
people say it's exaggerated untill they tried ...

Witte chocolade
en bladerdeeg
interesting combinations - good

 Espresso
can be much much better ....


Make a reservation, the place is packed almost all the time. They say on the website just walk in, so I did, last table - I swear - so can't hurt to give them a call to be sure of a table. On the bar there were 3 place left, rest all taken. That say's something too ... 140 covers an evening .... well done !

Sorry R you can't have it all - love you 2 ... -x-


Who would have thought that in Hoofddorp there was a place like this. The only hurdle (literally) are these anti speed bumps in the road, who invented that for crying out loud ....

A bright big open space with terrace next to the waterfront. They serve good and honest food for a good price. Can be very croudy in summer time but even on a normal day during the week pretty busy. Make a reservation to avoid a disappointment ...

I had the ;

MacHattan, our homemade Burger with Mozzarella, tomato, red onion, pestomayonaise and French fries

Tartelette with fruit of the season, swiss cream and white chocolate mousse


Espresso and there home made almond tuilles (that you can purchase to take home as well ... :-))




to N thx for a lovely afternoon -x- P.





















Why can't I remember a day,
that I can't forget!
