Edwin Dingemanse and Sjoerd Dooge's bar/restaurant exudes youthful elegance – everything here is impeccable without being stiff. Their sincere commitment to guests manifests itself in the cuisine. Diners are bowled over by the complex interplay of local delicacies – Zeeland shellfish, for instance – with influences from all around the globe. The sauces are rich and the garnishes playful, yet it is always the core ingredient that steals the show.

Barres in Middelburg is internationally recognized for its high-quality cuisine and attentive service. Most reviews praise the food's refinement, the staff's professionalism, and the extensive wine selection, creating a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere. Guests often highlight creative multi-course menus and skilled kitchen execution. However, some negative feedback points to inconsistent meal pacing, small portion sizes (e.g., minimal eel servings), delayed service responses, and perceived poor value for money. While the majority experience excellence in culinary artistry and hospitality, isolated incidents of inefficiency and dissatisfaction with pricing or quantity detract from the overall impression.
Suitable for diners seeking refined international cuisine and professional service, comfortable with smaller portions and prioritizing ambiance.

Mart Scherp's restaurant, which also offers accommodation, merges the historical charm of Middelburg's town centre with a trendy vibe. The talented chef likes to work with Zeeland's local produce and Asian seasonings. Enticing flavours and subtle spiciness are common features, so it's no surprise that he has gathered a loyal following.

At Morille, the warm and welcoming decor gives the impression that nature has taken root inside – and that is entirely by design. Floris Vriens works with ingredients from his own kitchen garden, wild foraging and local producers. He strives to source everything from within a 15km radius of the restaurant – a true taste of Zeeland! The core ingredient is prepared in such a way that its natural essence shines through, even if he likes to explore textures and well-rounded flavours. He brings the dish to life with a carrot tartare seasoned with herb oil, leek purée, zesty magnolia gel, grated egg
