Restaurant De Beren Haarlem

We sat on the terrace and it took a long time for the drinks to be absorbed. The menu only arrived after 10 minutes. Then while ordering, the waiter didn't know if gluten-free bread was available and went to the kitchen after asking. This inquiry took 10 minutes. We were then served the food quite cold and without cutlery. The waitress was supposed to get cutlery but ended up forgetting. The croquette was now cold again. I had to eat the pulled chicken fries with my hand. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong here. If you know that you are now working with 4 people on the floor, both indoors and outdoors, that is not going to work. Then you would have preferred not to be able to open the terrace. You know it's the flower parade and the city is extremely busy, the manager shouldn't have done it this way. Not to mention the price €30 for really bad food, it's that you are hungry. You really feel quite scammed. I would avoid this place, because there are plenty of other places in the city where you can eat better and cheaper. There were no fewer than 4 leaves of lettuce with the croquette. Is that a joke? Then say sorry, the lettuce is gone, but this is a joke. AVOID this place!!! To the waiters and waitresses, if you promise to do something, don't do a hundred other things first.

There is an allergy menu from which we ordered a gluten-free menu. When serving, we asked whether the salad and prawn crackers were also gluten-free, which turned out not to be. It's a shame that they aren't sharper about this themselves
