The Experience
From Michelin Guide
The view from this elegant pavilion, taking in the Hollands Diep River and the marina, is so enchanting it's almost impossible to describe. The dancing waves, visible through the expansive glass windows, create a mesmerising effect. Henrie van der Heijden marries classic cooking techniques with international influences, adding a vibrant and lively touch. Thanks to the small portions, you can decide which horizons to explore in your set menu. Savour the flavours of France with an unctuous chicken, pata negra and foie gras terrine… Or embark on an Asian culinary voyage and tuck into tender red mullet and poached lobster tail elevated by a fragrant green curry lobster sauce. Chef Van der Heijden adds his distinctive contemporary flair to these beautifully balanced and incredibly delicious dishes. The exquisite sauces and vinaigrettes he uses to complement the main ingredients showcase the craftsmanship of a talented chef.
