I first took a picture without the beer but the waiter suggested that it would look better with it there. It claims to be from the oldest brewery in the world.

If this restaurant had displayed its menu outside, I wouldn't have come in here. If I'm somewhere where I don't speak the language, I either like a set menu with no choice at all, or so much choice that there are bound to be some things with words that I recognise. Here, there were only about three options for each course and I didn't recognise much. It didn't matter though because the waiter handed me the menu and then gave a detailed description of everything in English. Before the starter came, the second waiter brought me a plate with three small canapés and then explained at length what they were in Dutch, including a phrase which sounded like "came from the moon". He must have spoken to the first waiter while I was eating them because he then came back and asked whether I had understood any of what he had said, and I had to admit that I hadn't. He then did the whole thing again in English but without the items in question being present any more.
