Really good food at a typical Dutch restaurant. They have a regular menu and a gluten-free menu and they take measures to prevent gluten cross-contamination in the kitchen. This place is perfect for celiacs like me. On top of that, they are super caring about other food restrictions. Our waiter was extremely nice and tried to find solutions to make my food onion-free, garlic-free and lactose-free. I totally recommend this place to anyone living or passing by Groningen!

One of my usual to-go places for dinner. Very affordable and many different options: gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, meat, fish, great desserts and more. I have never been disappointed.

Visited this city for the first time, a friend recommended this restaurant, indeed very satisfying: tasty food with very reasonable price, great location and very friendly people. Cannot expect more. I particularly love the beef strew which has been a star dish of Ugly Duck for 35 years. The tendernesses and the slightly sweet flavour from brown sugar perfectly meets my taste of stew.

Good food, very friendly staff, been there so often they already know to present me the gluten free menu 😅 Can definitely recommend, especially for gluten sensitive people as their menu has a lot of options!

Me and a friend had lunch at The Ugly Duck today. It was very nice and the thing I liked the most is the fact that there were so many gluten free option so my friend didn't have to worry about that. It was cozy and not too busy. I don't know exactly what I would want to see to give it a five, but I'm very keen on coming back and deciding that. But the initial feeling is that it was really nice. The food was good and exactly enough as well for the price.
