Esstra hotel Erica

De Gaffel offers a dining experience steeped in rustic charm, beneath the thatched roof of a Saxon farmhouse warmed by a crackling open fire. The chef grows his own vegetables on site. He works with the finest ingredients and accentuates their quality with contemporary techniques. Featuring dishes such as an original take on vitello tonnato, and tender venison with a patiently reduced jus, a single surprise menu is served – you can choose to have four or five courses. Either way, the depth of the flavours and excellent value for money are guaranteed to have you smitten.

Set within a charming old building in Gramsbergen, this modern restobar is an inviting spot where even a glance at the extensive menu is sure to bring a smile to your face. Chef Jelle Jansen is a devotee of authentic flavours and puts his ingredients centre stage. Highlights include medium-rare grilled entrecôte with a stroganoff sauce infused with smoked sausage, served with crispy fries. The rich tiramisu is simply irresistible, right down to the last spoonful. This is a place with something for everyone, prepared by a seasoned chef who is attuned to what diners want.
