Assen, Netherlands Dinner At Restaurant Touche

Early this year I went to the province of Drenthe for an extended long weekend. I stayed at a small village known as Westerbork within the middle of nowhere among Meppel and Assen.

In Assen I had dinner. I found the Restaurant Touche on line and it had properly rankings at iens.nl and Tripadvisor.


However, before dinnertime, I got here throughout this glasshouse beside the brand new modern theatre and library. I parked the automobile underneath the building, so once I went up with the carry and stepped out of doors, I noticed this beautiful glasshouse creation. After a more in-depth look I realised it become a restaurant called Fellini. I concept—Hmm, I think I may additionally want to return again right here for dinner this night!?

Well, I did came back, however most effective to be told by using the wait team of workers that they're fully booked for the evening. Argh.

It become a Saturday evening, and although Assen may also seem to be a small and sleepy metropolis in the northeastern part of the Netherlands, the going out scene here is quite lively! I become inspired, haha. The climate should have helped a bit because it changed into a dry and delightful day, something we here within the Netherlands truly take advantage of while this takes place. We just do not allow lovely days like this slip away. The climate right here sucks massive time, so whilst its dry and warmer than common, people actually exit. Like on this specific day in March.


This is the Fellini Restaurant that become completely booked. You can understand why I need to consume here.

I became disenchanted of direction. I become quite keyed as much as dine at this cool glasshouse and I virtually wanted a couple of minutes to digest the terrible information, before strolling returned to the principle square of the city wherein Restaurant Touche is placed.

Here is some thing though that comforted me, something that advocated me to look ahead to dinner: Restaurant Touche has better rankings than Fellini.


This is the Markt, the principle rectangular of Assen wherein Restaurant Touche is positioned. See the constructing inside the middle with the purple window awning.

Restaurant Touche turned into quite busy when I arrived, and fortunately they've a desk for me upstairs.

It is a small and comfortable restaurant. I quite loved my dinner right here and I relatively endorse this eating place to humans visiting Assen. The meals is delicious. I ordered their 3-path meal however changed the dessert for coffee instead. Many restaurants can accommodate this request if you just ask.


Oh, I can't assist however eavesdrop. I noticed that among the guests were attending a theatre display or are going to the movies after dinner. They have a completely 'timed' dinner association. No one desires to pass over the begin of a display or film I am positive, so the wait staff were pretty professional in making sure the food arrived on time at their desk.

Here is my dinner:


Starter from the residence: Some tapenade and butter(?), peanuts, toasts and an erwten paste which reminds me of erwtensoep (pea soup, a Dutch iciness dish) but that is a bit dry and properly to pair with a toast.


First route: Pumpkin soup with orange and froth and a few spicy gambas. This was a very good soup. I love this. I discover the plating and presentation of this dish on their internet site a good deal better than the actual though.


Main path: A combination of plaice fish and fried scallops with black risotto, anise, grilled spring onion and Northsea crab sauce.

I love the fish, scallops and the whole lot else. However I locate the risotto just too heavy, I couldn’t and didn’t finish it. I had to provide an explanation for to the lady wait team of workers who was a piece distressed upon seeing my unfinished plate that it became scrumptious, but it's far just that the risotto was too much for me.

I skipped dessert and asked for espresso as a substitute.

One element I observed is that the chef of this eating place has a sweet teeth. The dishes have a flair of sweetness in them. It became not annoying in any respect or overpowering, however I may want to taste it due to the fact I actually have a salty and highly spiced palate orientation.


Overall, a outstanding dinner in Assen.
