    Wat een fantastische ervaring! Het eten was geweldig en zag er ook prachtig uit. De bediening was enorm vriendelijk en maakten de avond extra bijzonder Een minpunt is het feit dat ze 2 shifts draaien op een avond. De snelheid waarmee het eten wordt opgediend is niet goed. Enkele keren hebben we gevraagd om dit aan te passen maar uiteindelijk bleek dat onze tafel voor een volgende gast weer nodig was. Dat is een 3 sterren restaurant onwaardig.

    Dinner was perfect. From amuse bouche to the final chocolates with coffee, the food, presentation and service was impeccable. An experience rarely achieved by most top restaurants. 3 Michelin stars greatly deserved.

    We ate lunch at Core for my husbands birthday. Everything about the experience was perfect. We had pre lunch drinks in the bar, really nice atmosphere. We were given the chefs table for our party, which was really interesting as we could watch the food being prepped. The tasting menu was fabulous. Every course was a work of art and was absolutely delicious. The wine recommendations were spot on for us and the sommelier listened to what we wanted and liked. All of the staff were friendly and welcoming. This is a fantastic restaurant!

    Welcoming from the moment we walked in. This was our seventh visit over the years and each one has been a highly enjoyable food.drink and service experience. Knowledgeable and friendly staff who continually made you feel at ease during the highest level of food experiences. Has three stars, worth every one of them! Highly recommended.
