Aprazivel - Bergstraat 3F

It's not bad. But being a portuguese and having lived in Spain for a while, I have to say the food isn't anything like southern europe and I was expecting flavors that reminded me of home . Also 'aprazível' just literally means ' pleasant' in Portuguese. It's just a single adjective. It doesn't mean all the poetic stuff they say. So I was a bit disappointed...

I realize I am in the minority in this review but my experience here was not on par with other reviewers. There were two of us sitting at the spot overlooking the kitchen on a Friday evening which I typically like (to be able to observe the kitchen staff) but in this case I saw things which then detracted from the experience. Overall, the volume of diners is way too high for the way this place is managed. There were only three people in the kitchen and then they need to mass produce the meals and cannot keep up. The steak tartare is made in bulk and they have a blue plastic bag, like a pastry bag from which they dispense the tartare into the decorative bone. It looks great on the plate but steak tartare should be hand cut or ground fresh. The rib eye steak was pre cooked and then finished to order. The result is little to no crust because then it would be overcooked. The cut of meat was good and the inside temp was correct as ordered but I can easily make a better steak at home. The veggies and garnishes sat on a plate under a heat lamp for 45 minutes before they were served to us cold. Between the first course and the main we sat for 1 hour, no exaggeration, no explanation, no apologies. I did like the wine choices and they also will serve some ad hoc choices by the glass which is great, but it doesn't compensate for the food and service. For the size of the restaurant they need to hire more people but probably want to keep the costs low. For every dish we had, there is another restaurant within 200m which can make it better. You can walk down the streak and get steak tartare hand cut from a tenderloin right in front of you at +20% of the price, but worth it.

One of the best restaurants in Eindhoven, love their food their service their atmosphere. They should have Michelin star.

The food was amazing here. It's been a while since I had a great dining out experience in the NL. We had the pleasure of enjoying this wonderful restaurant all to our self. I am sure it had to do with the timing we selected. We ate between 4-6, which was an ideal time for an early dinner. Their terrace in the back is so beautiful and cosy. I felt like for a minute I was south of Europe on holiday. I am giving them 5 stars from service to food to atmosphere. I definitely look forward to coming back here again in the future. If you are stopping through Eindhoven for a day, then I would suggest staying at Hotel Marienhage and enjoying a fabulous lunch or dinner at Aprazivel.

Really nice Spanish and Portuguese restaurant in a beautiful location. Cool interior design with an open kitchen that allows you to see how the great kitchen team with chef Ruud Haans prepares your meal. The 3 course surprise menu is definitely worth a trial! Some space for groups in a separate room.

Good food, good environment. Sometimes it takes a bit between dishes, but the quality is there. You can see the kitchen and that gives you more trust on the restaurant.

Really liked the atmosphere, open kitchen and great food. Owner was also very friendly! All in all definitely worth it!

Nice place, good food, good atmosphere! I tasted the "chief surprise menu" which you can see in the attached photos. Take in account if you are in Eindhoven for business
