Description

The charm of the converted Hunsingo windmill (1855) is as captivating as this picturesque village, and it houses a really special restaurant. Chef Kooijker works only with a surprise menu in which he brings to bear all his creativity, paying special attention to the presentation, creating elaborate garnishes and giving a new perspective on familiar flavours. Rest assured, you are in good hands here. And why not treat yourself to an overnight stay in the mill or granary?
