Four 4 Seasons: A Vibrant Syrian Restaurant in the Heart of the City
Four 4 Seasons, a delightful Syrian restaurant, is located at the corner of Herdentorsteinweg/Contrescarpe. The restaurant offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, with a large counter where dishes are prepared, plastic flowers adorning the tables and walls, and a balustrade decorated with colourful landscape photos.
The entrance area features cut-open cardboard boxes on the floor, which may serve practical purposes such as temporary storage during busy times or deliveries, or could be part of the restaurant's decor. The exact reason for their use remains unclear.
Inside, Four 4 Seasons offers both indoor and outdoor seating at ground level, with additional seating available upstairs. The restaurant is known for its friendly staff, who are quick to serve and visibly happy to answer questions.
The menu at Four 4 Seasons is reasonably priced, especially considering the large portions. A Shawarma plate costs 10 euros and includes a tender and spicy chicken roll, garlic sauce, fries, and a cabbage salad. The Crispy plate, also priced at 10 euros, comes with the same sides, along with fresh, warm, delicious flatbread and well-spiced chicken breast fillets.
However, it's worth noting that Four 4 Seasons does not offer any alcoholic beverages. Water costs 2 euros for a 0.5l serving, while a 0.5l soft drink will set you back 2.50 euros.
Despite the cleanliness of the restaurant, there is room for improvement. A good wipe and a thorough cleaning of food remains from the tables would enhance the dining experience.

The restaurant's unique vibrancy extends beyond the food, creating an appealing food-and-drink and home-and-garden lifestyle experience.
