Every now and then, we have to travel for business. This is a great opportunity to visit restaurants that are simply too far for a day-trip. Where the trips themselves are not as much fun as people like to think, we do enjoy the meals… Preparation is half the fun for a vacation and with…

De Schans – Fine dining around the corner
We do not mind driving a while for a good meal, but we have recently found that we don’t have to sit in the car for hours. Just a 15-minute drive from our home base, we have found a wonderful fine dining restaurant called “De Schans”. Located just outside the town of Montfoort, it is…
Restaurant Monarh – A modern restaurant in a historic setting
Tilburg may not be on the top of the list for tourists visiting Holland. However, when in the neighbourhood, it is definitely worth a visit. The city center is a nice place for a walk, with some old churches and nice shops. After the walk, we bet you can use a good meal, either at…
Librije’s Zusje – A perfect meal at De Librije’s little sister

For some time now, he has his own restaurant, Locanda Locatelli, based in a street parallel to the famous Oxford Street in London.

Wolf Atelier – Refined cuisine in the center of Amsterdam
Amsterdam is home to some of Holland’s better/best restaurants, like Librije’s Zusje and Vermeer. Next to this, there are many other good and excellent, but less well-known restaurants that really are worth a visit. For some time, we have wanted to visit one of these lesser-known restaurants; Wolf Atelier. Located a few minutes walk from…
Atelier Wilma – Casual fine dining in Frankfurt
Just south-west of the downtown area of Frankfurt, within walking distance of the big cathedral is the restaurant Atelier Wilma. It is in a nice area with some shops, away from the fancy high-rise office buildings of some of Europe’s largest banks. For some reason, the face of the building reminded me of Hansel and…
