As soon as you step into Bij Jef, you are struck by a sense of peace and space. The minimalist interior has been specifically designed as a setting in which guests can enjoy Texel's bounty of produce – the local suckling lamb is world famous and, needless to say, also a firm fixture here. But Jef Schuur draws much more from his surroundings. Salty herbs, crustaceans and shellfish… the list goes on.

Urban and trendy, yet warm and welcoming, Oudeland is run by an enthusiastic team who bring the place to life.

This restaurant's designer decor is delightful, with a moss-clad wall that brings a touch of nature into the dining room. However, the ultimate appeal of this historical warehouse is its view of the harbour and the shrimp boats. Fish and seafood are the speciality of the house – the centrepiece is the fish tank, which is replenished daily.
