De Lindenhof offers a unique experience that starts with the location: a splendid farmhouse with a thatched roof that exudes character and elegance. The English garden is magnificent – the scene could not be more idyllic! Out back is the chef's little sailing boat, in which he likes to cruise the canals (sometimes taking guests with him!). There are also luxurious guestrooms for a relaxing stay. But the main draws are the enthusiastic service provided by hostess Marjan and the ingredient-led cuisine of Martin Kruithof, a traditional chef who has moved with the times. When he incorporates inter

The warm, contemporary interior of this former school (coat hooks still in place) exudes a lively brasserie atmosphere. Chef Raymond crafts à la carte dishes and a tasting menu, presenting classic flavours with modern precision.

Two rich sauces – one mustard-based, the other a Spanish wine reduction – complete the dish. Confident cooking, in generous portions that leave a lasting impression.

Today, it is incorporated into contemporary cuisine served in an impressive setting that takes full advantage of its location on Stoombootkade (grab a table on the waterfront terrace if possible!). The dishes draw on influences from around the globe; succulent poussin breast, for instance, is given a twist with Asian spices. The chef finds creative ways to put vegetables and fruit in the limelight. The lunch and finger food options are slightly simpler, th
