The courses are to be filled in by you and vary from a Cesar salad to hot prawns and from a nice steak to tasty sole. As a dessert the ‘Australian Homemade’ ice cream and the chocolate fondant are recommended. With drinks included, it will cost you about 30 euro’s to dine here. The restaurant has two floors that are decorated like a grand café and inside it is rather dark which creates a cosy atmosphere.

    hey Jordy!

    I saw you talked about the Gauchos in your part. You are right that it is affordable if you know that the side dishes are against payment. Last time we went for a meal at the Gauchos in Amsterdam and we found it strange we didn't got any salads or fries with it. we thought they just forgot so we asked for some side dishes. when we received the check we had a very unpleasant surprise!

    Hello,

    Your article really gave me the envy of going to those places. I live near the city center and I never had the occasion to try one of those place althought I see them almost everyday. I think I'll definetely try the Humphreys, and the Gauchos when my parents will visit me in Breda.

    Hi Jordy,

    first of all I really enjoyed reading your blog. I have been living in breda for 3 and a half year now and in your blog I found a new interesting place to go for a diner, namely El Mundo. And what I did not know is that Gauchos isn't that expensive.
    In the second sentence I found a spelling error: you started your sentence with if, but I think it has to be it and that was the only one I could find in your blog.
    You have a really nice and fluent style of writting and I did not find any grammar mistakes.
