What does the restaurant look like?
We do not distribute photos of our restaurant.
We also kindly ask our guests not to take pictures of the restaurant itself.
Not because it's very special, but because we like honer the SpeakEasy character
of our restaurant in this way.
Of course you can make pictures of the dishes, the wines and eachother.
Â
Can we have an drink in the bar?
Unfortunately we don't have a bar area.
Nice tips for an aperitif somewhere else:
Door74 or Freddy's Bar.
Â
Wine & food
We don't serve wine&food pairing or wine arrangements.
We do have a winelist and several wines by the glass.
Â
Can I still change the menu I choose when booking?
Yes. On the day itself you will receive a whatsapp message with not only the QR code,
but all other things will also be checked with you again.
Think of the number of chosen preparations, dietary requirements and details.
If you then wish to adjust the number of preparations, you can indicate this at that time.
Â
HELP!
I'm full and want fewer courses
If you want to switch to fewer courses during dinner,
or if you want to halve the portions,
we will, unfortunately, have to charge
for the entire originally chosen menu.
This is because the dishes have already been
mostly prepared for you and we cannot re-use them.
Â
I want to expand my menu
If you would like to switch to more courses during dinner,
please let our team know. Due to the structure of the menu,
please do so before the 3rd course is served.
Â
I have a dinner voucher that is about to expire, can you extend the expiration date?
If you have a dinner voucher with an end date, it is no longer valid after the end date.
That is, you can no longer make a booking after the end date.
So make sure you make a booking before the dinner voucher expires,
the date for which you book, i.e. the date on which you come to eat with us,
can also be a date after the expiration date.
Not sure yet when you want to come?
Then make a booking after all, because you can always move the booking afterwards.
Example:
Your dinner voucher is valid until October 1, 2022. Make a booking before October 1, 2022.
The date on which you come for dinner can be a date after October 1, 2022 (such as March 2, 2023).
Â
Â
I have an allergy. Can you take that into account?
Yes. If you indicate this to us at least 24 hours before your arrival.
Unfortunately, we can no longer process last minute allergies or dietary requirements for you.
Â
Â
I am vegan. Can you take that into account?
Yes. If you indicate this to us at least 24 hours before your arrival.
Unfortunately, we can no longer process last minute allergies or dietary requirements for you.
Â
Â
I do not see the indicated dietary requirements / allergies in my booking confirmation.
That's right. The comments you entered when making the booking,
you will never see yourself again. These will be checked again with you by whatsapp on the day itself.
Â
Â
Isn't it a lot? 10, 12 or 15 preparations?
This of course depends on a number of factors.
But on average you can compare the 10 preparation menu with a "normal" 5 course menu
the 12 preparations menu with a "normal" 6-course menu
the 15 preparation menu with a "normal" 8 course menu.
Both in quantity and time frame.
Â

No. All the guests at your table order the same menu.
Â
I can't book on the website. Can I be placed on a waiting list?

Sometimes. Some evenings there is a live DJ playing swinging background music.
The music is not more dominant than usual without a DJ.
Â
Is it very dark in your restaurant?
No. The light is certainly in a dimmed setting

and you enter our restaurant, but darker
then it is certainly not attractive.

No. Our restaurant is not suitable for children.
