Be careful not to walk right past this unassuming building – you'd be missing out. Chef-patron duo Marc ("the bald one" or "Kale" in Dutch!) and Niek ("the one with glasses" – "de Bril" in Dutch) immediately set a relaxed, welcoming tone. Zeeland produce (also from the lobster tank) and vegetables prepared in a multitude of ways are showcased in creative dishes.

This restaurant set in a row of townhouses in the centre of Goes evokes the spirit of Paris. Round marble-topped tables, high ceilings, tiled floors, French chansons – this bistro has it all. Both the tempting menu and the wines also draw on French tradition. Well-seasoned hand-cut steak tartare; pan-fried sea bream accompanied by a rich beurre blanc with fresh, zesty notes; a shellfish platter, or profiteroles with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce: diners are spoilt for choice! If in need of recommendations, ask the amiable hostess, who will be happy to help.
