Description: In Numansdorp are several dining options. One is Aqui. This is a tapas and pizza restaurant with the ability to pick up food.
Location and accessibility
Aqui located in the center of Numansdorp, to be precise, in the shopping street of the village. There are relatively few parking spaces, or during the shopping hours, it is practically impossible to park at the front of the door. But in the streets off the street and a little further are enough parking spaces. The parking is free, but in some places you have to use a parking ticket. The full address: 47 Front Street, 3281 to AT Numansdorp.
The outside
As mentioned Aqui is in the center of the village, here are many older buildings. The restaurant has a bit of a Mediterranean exterior. The restaurant is quite big and quite spacious. The interior is clear Mediterranean and looks very nice with coloured walls and dark furniture. There are 2 - and 4-person tables that can be pushed together if you're with more people. There are also a number of round tables, which is ideal when you're with three people.
Reception
When you enter, you are always greeted by someone from the staff. You can choose whether you have booked. If so, you will be guided to your seat, otherwise they check whether there is space. Also you can possibly give your coat.
Menu
Aqui has an extensive menu. A typical menu consists of cold tapas, hot tapas and possibly a dessert. With the menu you get a bit of everything but of course you can order each dish separate.
Dishes
Generally you start with a cold tapas and the second pass is of course the hot tapas.
Of the cold tapas, I really enjoyed the goat cheese salad (with honey, balsamic, and pine nuts). The salads are delicious stuffed and the dressings also delicious. The Tapas Variadas is really good, you get all kinds of little things like stuffed peppers, anchovies and dates. I find it nice to combine the little things with the Seranoham or the Fillet of beef carpaccio.
From the hot tapas, I think the Baked Fillet of beef (cooked in Port Syrup with onions and herbs) was very tasty. The meat is juicy and the sauce is delicious.
There are a few different desserts, I choose the chocolate mousse which was also every good.
Overall opinion food and drink
The food is tasty, but the hot tapas was a bit bland. The portions are ample and you can always order an extra dish. There are vegetarian dishes, fish dishes, meat or poultry. If you go for a menu you have a 2 or 3 course menu. You can indicate whether there are things you certainly do not want in your menu.
Prices
A 2-course meal costs around € 27.50 per person. The variety of tapas are in the range of € 4 to € 17, you can so as expensive as you want. In my opinion, the tapas are not more expensive than anywhere else and is proportional to the quality of the food. The wines by the glass will be around € 3 and € 20 for a bottle
Operation
The service is friendly and attentive. They frequently ask if you still have a drink and the like. They also give a clear explanation of the different tapas and give advice on how to order the number of dishes.
Hygiene
The restaurant is clean and tidy. The toilets are old but well maintained and clean.
Conclusion
Aqui is definitely a must if you want something to eat with friends. Because you all at the same time ordered several small dishes, you can taste a little of everything. If you want to try everything or almost everything, it's best to go for a 2 - or 3-course menu. Staff is friendly, but it is wise to make reservations if you want to eat at the weekend.
