Novotel Breda, Breda

Advantages: Great location, great range of beers
Disadvantages: Can get very crowded at weekends

...INTRODUCTION I have spent many a late afternoon and evening at this drinking establishment and so I thought I should have a bash at saying a few words about it. Now here's a interesting fact for you; "t'hart" is an abbreviation of "het hart", so "'t Hart van Breda" means "the heart of Breda". Ooooo! Located on the main square (Grote Markt) of Breda, this is a very popular spot all year round, with a predominately younger crowd. The name of the bar isn't far wrong in terms of location. THE BAR When you walk in, you can see that the entrance is just glass, and so you have a good view both of the square from the inside and the bar from the outside. Handy if you've trying to see if there's anywhere to sit. The front section has several high tables and stools, mostly for 4 people. There is lots of light this area... Read review

...INTRODUCTION The main square of Breda, South Netherlands has a plethora of restaurants on it. Being here for a while means that I can try pretty much all of them if I fancy, and so in the interests of consumer research I have started to go to some of the places I have not been before, mainly because I have had low expectations of them.

THE RESTAURANT Paviljoen de Colonie is a chain of restaurants in The Netherlands, other locations other than Breda being Houten, Maarssen, Utrecht, 's Graveland, Amersfoort and Waardenburg. Nope, I've not heard of most of those either. Not for the first time here, I can almost hear the distant twang of a Deliverance like banjo. The restaurant appears to be done up in a style that is a mix of eras; the overall effect is, I think supposed to be what I... Read review

...INTRODUCTION There are only 2 Greek restaurants in the centre of Breda, and I must confess that previously I was no big fan of Greek food. I found it a bit bland to be honest. However, thanks to trying this place out a few times, I have found many dishes to my taste. You can usually get a seat quite easily too here, which is a good sign, as it means the Dutch aren't obsessed with it, and you can't pay any restaurant a higher compliment than that. You can already see this is going to be a favourable review! This will be the last one from Breda for the moment so I hope you know more about the place now! THE RESTAURANT I really like the layout here, as there is a big non smoking section to the left of the entrance, and this consists of several tables for 4. Some floor space separates the 2 sections and so you won... Read review
