This
restaurant
is
quite
well
known
as
a
result
of
the
fact
that
it
literally
looks
like
a
windmill
and
it
is
located
right
next
door
to
a
farmers
market.
It
also
specializes
in
Dutch
cuisine.
I
tried
the
double
portion
of
Krokketen
(see
picture).
This
cost
about
R89
a
serving.
We
were
a
party
of
four
with
two
diners
ordering
the
double
beef
and
cheese
savory
pancakes
(at
about
R98
a
serving)
and
the
fourth
diner
ordering
the
rump
steak
with
additional
pepper
sauce
meal
which
cost
about
R160.
The
diners
eating
the
savory
pancakes
enjoyed
them
although
by
South
African
standards,
the
pancakes
were
small
in
size.
The
rump
steak
was
done
to
order
but
the
presentation
was
slap
dash
and
the
steak
itself
had
a
thick
piece
of
fat
that
had
not
been
rendered.
The
pepper
sauce
was
extremely
mild.
All
in
all,
more
attention
to
detail
would
have
improve
the
taste
and
the
experience-especially
as
it
is
one
of
the
more
expensive
meals
on
the
menu.
I
would
not
recommend
the
krokketen.
Having
had
the
fortune
of
tasting
the
real
thing
in
Amsterdam,
this
comes
no
where
close
to
the
real
thing.
The
inside
was
a
mushy
mixture
if
about
60
percent
potatoes
and
about
40
percent
mushy
mince.
Nothing
to
write
home
about.
Service
was
mediocre
with
our
waitress
demonstrating
the
same
haste
and
lack
of
attention
to
detail
that
the
steak
meal
spoke
of.
This
speaks
volumes
if
you
take
into
account
that
the
restaurant
was
not
busy/full
when
we
were
there.
Being
first
time
visitors,
I
asked
the
waiter
what
she
would
recommend.
I.mentioned
having
tasted
Dutch
food
in
Amsterdam.
Her
response
was
that
she
did
not
personally
like
to
try
"new"
foods
and
could
therefore
not
advise
as
to
the
"dutch"
items
on
the
menu.
And
this
is
a
restaurant
that
specializes
in
Dutch
cuisine!!
The
worst
however
was
the
fact
that
we
then
made
use
of
the
"in
house"
bathroom
at
the
end
of
the
meal
and
discovered
that
the
ladies
bathroom
did
not
have
actual
soap
in
the
bathroom!
Instead,
there
was
this
watered
down
hand
sanitizer
type
of
offering.
The
thought
of
the
servers
and
/or
kitchen
staff
handling
food
after
"washing"
their
hands
with
only
this
stuff,
is
just
gross!!
This
needs
to
seriously
and
immediately
be
attended
to!!
All
in
all,
this
looks
like
it
has
been
a
good
restaurant
to
go
to
however
over
time,
it
has
come
to
rely
more
on
its
reputation
than
actual
service
and
quality
of
experience,
which
is
just
sad.
A
major
draw
card
for
this
restaurant
must
be
the
fact
that
it
is
located
immediately
next
to
a
great
farmers'
market.
The
prices
and
range
of
produce
is
fantastic
and
well
worth
the
visit.
