Witlof

€€€Farm to table

The view of the Waal River, the ever-cheerful hostess, glimpses of the chef at work as you pass by the kitchen on your way to use the facilities, plus the moss-covered wall and numerous paintings of fish all contribute to the welcoming atmosphere at this cosy establishment. Jurgen Eikholt lovingly prepares classic cuisine with his trademark sophisticated, often Asian-inspired touches. One example is his use of mirin in a hollandaise sauce to lend salmon and al dente vegetables a rich, subtly sweet note.
