€€€€Farm to table, Modern French
The Belle Époque allure of Les Salons is a feast for the eyes. The character of this old castle, the art and murals in the three historic rooms, the modern furniture, the terrace overlooking the meticulously trimmed gardens... Wow! (Psst: be sure to ask about the story behind the bullet hole in the two-way mirror). The chefs give French tradition a contemporary twist. Here, they understand the importance of rich sauces and playful nuances to bring the plate to life, such as that braised halibut fillet with a light mushroom emulsion and crispy parsnips, given just enough vibrancy by grating lem

Previously a church, Irenekerk (1891) is now a restaurant. Here, design reigns supreme, with a stylish blend of soft and raw materials.

The world is Joachim Müller's culinary playground. Generous dishes such as Limburg pork terrine or crispy tortilla with Asian-style marinated tuna and wasabi give expression to the chef's sense of fun. The extensive and varied menu never disappoints, and diners will enjoy the interesting wine pairings. Chef Joachim and front-of-house manager Myrthe make it their mission to show guests a good time. The pops of turquoise in the decor are in keeping with the convivial spirit of this place.
