De Gaffel

€€€Modern Cuisine

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.

TripAdvisor review sample · 4.6/5 · 80 reviews

De Gaffel, housed in a historic Saxon farmhouse in Odoorn, offers modern cuisine praised for its high quality, balanced flavors, and precise presentation. Wine pairings are frequently highlighted as excellent. Service is generally welcoming and attentive, though isolated reviews cite poor accommodation for dietary restrictions or cold interactions. The atmosphere is cozy, enhanced by a fireplace, despite some criticism regarding overly bright pink lighting. While many find the experience worthwhile, others note stingy portions or question the value for money. It remains a notable destination for diners seeking refined, detail-oriented meals in a rustic setting.

Ideal for diners seeking refined modern cuisine in a rustic setting; confirm dietary accommodations in advance.
