Tante Kee

€€€Modern Cuisine, Asian Contemporary

Tante Kee is a firm favourite. Nestled on a scenic island accessible by ferry, its setting is picture-perfect, with small boats mooring right beside the terrace. The interior is stylish; the exterior has a magical atmosphere. The cuisine is in step with the times and enriched with subtle Asian accents. Think fresh, hand-cut veal tartare with a judicious touch of gochujang providing a spicy Korean kick and a Dutch soya jelly. Impeccable service rounds off the experience. This is one of those warmly inviting places where everything is just right.

Tante Kee offers a scenic waterside setting in Kaag with generally high-quality, seasonal cuisine. Its Christmas boxes are highly rated for convenience and presentation. However, service inconsistencies are noted, including staff lacking wine knowledge and rigid attitudes toward reservation changes. Value is mixed; wine is considered overpriced with small portions, and lunch options are limited with extra charges for many choices. While the atmosphere and food quality appeal to many, concerns about service attentiveness and cost-effectiveness remain significant for some diners.

Suitable for diners valuing scenery and convenient holiday meals, but those sensitive to service and price should proceed with caution.

Restaurant Suzie's en Van Aken

€€french

Chef Tom is no stranger to the concepts of nose-to-tail eating and zero waste. With a keen sense of the zeitgeist, this is a creative chef who draws inspiration from his extensive travels, especially to Asia. For example, a beurre blanc sauce with dashi that adds depth to a salty dish based on oyster and samphire. The jovial Suzanne plays her part, serving up excellent wine and dessert recommendations. The natural vibe of this cosy establishment will make your dinner that little bit more enjoyable.
