OUR RESTAURANT
Our Nordic & botanical cuisine focuses on nature, growing, foraging and preserving. We make extensive use of wild picking and various fermentation techniques. We proudly serve salty herbs and vegetables grown by our local farmers.
Our fish, shellfish and crustaceans can be found in our 'backyard', the Texel mud flats and the sea that surrounds us. Wherever we can, we use products from close by, with an occasional conscious and responsible foray into more distant areas of the Netherlands.
