Vanmiddag geweldig geluncht bij De Leest, prachtige gerechten zowel qua smaak als qua opmaak met dito wijnen. Perfecte, vriendelijke bediening en uitstekende prijs-kwaliteit, beter dan bij de meeste 2 sterren collega's. Wij zijn inmiddels verwende eters maar dit was simpelweg één van de beste ervaringen tot nu toe. Wat ons betreft zeker 3 sterren waard. Hartelijk bedankt en graag tot ziens!

Heerlijk genoten en gegeten. Werkelijk een kunstenaar in de keuken. Prachtig gepresenteerde gerechtjes met heel interessante en exotische smaken.

Zeer verrassende gerechten en combinaties met een sublieme smaak. Zelfs 3bereidingen van zuurkool waren tongstrelend! Fantastiche wijnen en gastvrouw/sommelier, maar de rest van de erg jonge bediening mag mij iets losser.

Never actually knew how often you have to repeat something in order for it to become a tradition, but according to Marianne it’s 3 times, and so last weekend it was time for the traditional Tuesday Night Girls Camping Near a Star Restaurant Weekend. This was a big step up in quality from last years and I really enjoyed the evening. I had e-mailed instructions on what we all could and could not eat and that meant there was nothing for us to do but sit down, eat and drink. And that we did. 5 courses, which meant 15 different dishes and an uncountable number of tastes. There were a couple of wow moments – the amuse with the 2 types of mozzarella and watermelon, plus the 2nd fish course that managed to combine the earthiness of spinach and potato with an aromatic, Thais flavoured foam. Not all great though, as nobody really liked the next fish dish that followed and contrasted various forms of tomato and artichoke (which nobody though matched). Service was efficient and friendly, but was stretched. OK, it was Sat night and nobody is in a hurry, but we got there at 18:45 and left 6 hours later, with other people still eating. As with Oude Sluis, where the tradition started, 1 extra person may have helped and as with Oude Sluis, there were also pauses in the service. I presume that is due to the incredible complexity of the dishes – must take a lot of time to put each plate together – but by the time our main course appeared, we’d drunk almost all the red wine we had been poured to go with it. Minor points though as in the end we were all very happy. Very classical wine list with a few bargains for a possible boys weekend sometime in the future. Talk already of getting a caravan next year, so maybe it’s the end of the tradition. If so, then at least we ended at the top. Good value.

Wij hebben hier onlangs geluncht. Door het mooie weer lekker op het terras.
Alles zag er prachtig uit, een lust voor het oog en beter dan bij vergelijkbare restaurants die vaak nog vast zitten in de stapel trend, bekent van tv. De kleur en vormcombinaties zijn een kunstenaar waardig.
De smaak was even geweldig en verraste ons af en toe door bijzondere combinaties.
De aanbevolen wijn was puik en paste goed, door de lunchtijd beperkten wij ons helaas slechts tot twee glaasjes.
Wij zijn fan!!!
