Kaatje bij de Sluis

Blokzijl is a picture-perfect little slice of the Netherlands. Opt for a table by the window to enjoy the delightful view of the lock and the quintessential brick houses. The wall decorated with cartoons is also sure to draw the eye. When it comes to the food, the dishes on the menu are testament to the creativity of the talented chef. With an eye for detail, he bends organic and local produce to his will. Fine classic flavours are shaken up in occasionally daring combinations. Lobster with blue cheese? Sardines and beetroot? It is the meticulous dosing that creates exciting nuances of flavour. The cheese and wine selections are equally tempting. It is no accident that, bar one year, Kaatje bij de Sluis has retained at least one Michelin star consistently since 1978. Quality reigns supreme here.
