#485 Fine dining. Delicious and very good price, Achterwerk, Groningen (NL)

restaurant review #485 – Vegan fine dining restaurant!

front and entrance, Achterwerk, Groningen (NL)

One can choose between 3-4- or 5 courses of the set menu (one can also have pairing wines or pairing non-alcoholic drinks, which we didn’t have).
We had the 5-course menu at 55€.

Too many ingredients to list all here, but every dish was really delicious! Wonderful combinations and nice presentation too!
And I absolutely loved the ‘butter’ that came with the bread, really creamy and a cheese like taste (one note: would have loved it if you offered us some more bread and butter 😉 ).

Very friendly service!
It took quite a while between 1st and 2nd course (45 minutes … we were getting a bit annoyed), but later courses were served in a more timely way (some tables had left by that time, so it was probably more quiet in the kitchen by that time).

The restaurant is located in a communal building (also hosting a club, etc). Many stairs to the restaurant, didn’t see an accessible entrance or signs leading to one.

I was sat on a bench against the wall, there were some cushions, but it was not really comfortable. Very dark, a nice atmosphere, but very difficult to take decent food photos!

Toilets were communal with the club, and a bit shabby (and there was no more paper to dry ones hands…).

Foodwise: 55€ for 5 courses is a very VERY good price here (if this was in Belgium, certain plantbased chefs would easily charge 100€ … – please don’t take this as a hint😉). And we were more than full with 5 courses!

If this place were closer, we would definitely visit again!
