We had a very pleasant evening here at bar pulpo. The place is tiny but full of colors and lively. The guys at the service are very nice, the menu is small but super interesting and food tastes amazing! The concept is that you share your dishes with the rest of the table, something that I noticed Dutch people really love, I'm usually not a big fun but here at bar Pulpo I really enjoyed as the portions are big enough to be shared and enjoyed and the dishes are rich and tasteful. Also price is not too bad.

Samen met een vriendin heb ik het 5-gangen verrassingsmenu genomen. Het was heerlijk en voor herhaling vatbaar. Absoluut. De cocktail die we dronken en waarvan we er uiteindelijk 3 heb gedronken, mochten wat ons betreft net iets meer prosecco d'r in hebben. Ik weet niet meer hoe het heet. Iets van een pink cocktail ofzo. Normaliter lukt het me niet om 3 cocktails achter elkaar te drinken, omdat ik na 2 alweer teut ben, maar dit ging er als limonade in.

Came here on a whim after a racist encounter at another restaurant. I am so, so, so pleased that I tried Bar Pulpo out. The staff and the food were excellent, and transformed what could have been a bad evening into a lovely one. I highly recommend their eels on toast and scallops. Definitely the highlight of the evening. We had their aubergine and anchovies flatbread - both really good. The anchovies were abundant and placed on a bed of tomato salsa - honestly, the salsa was really excellent. Their grilled octopus skewer was tasty, even though the portion was rather small. We also had the eel risotto. It was tasty but for my Italian husband, it was a bit overcooked (I thought it was fine, but I’m less qualified to judge risotto). The espressos come with a nice, warm chocolate chip cookie with sea salt (🫶) and the mango crème brûlée was great and not too sweet (the ultimate compliment to any dessert). Very nice establishment - would definitely recommend and come again!
