Description

Highly polished silverware, a fantastic collection of bottles and knickknacks set the quirky, antique dealer interior of Olijfboom, so you won’t be surprised to learn that the chef is a keen collector of vintage chinaware. However, his main talent is regaling us with old-school cooking. In keeping with tradition, he unfussily enhances the ingredient which he serves generously, focusing on the flavour. An impressive wine list completes this fine dining experience.
