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
With three Michelin stars, De Librije is probably one of the Netherland’s best-known restaurants.

Auberge de Veste – Delicious food with friendly service
Most of the well-known restaurants are in the big cities, like Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague. This does not mean that there aren’t any good places in other cities.

For some time, we have wanted to visit one of these lesser-known restaurants; Wolf Atelier. Located a few minutes walk from…
Restaurant Jaimie van Heije – Seriously good, simple food
The greater Amsterdam area is full of decent and good restaurants. Some with experienced and slightly older chefs, but some with younger talented chefs. Examples are The White Room, but definitely also Restaurant Jaimie van Heije. The latter is located in Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, a small village right next to Amsterdam. The restaurant looks…

Located at walking distance from Oxford Street, London’s best known shopping street you will find a Michelin star awarded French restaurant called Pied-a-Terre.

The chef of Restaurant Parkheuvel, Erik van Loo, has also prepared the menu for The Park which is the restaurant inside the Bilderberg Hotel in Rotterdam. As…
Onder de Linde – Nicely presented food for everyone
Holland is home to many nice coastal towns. Some very popular and some are still undiscovered by mass-tourism. One of the popular destinations is Noordwijk aan Zee with the adjacent town of Noordwijk. Like any place, these towns are home to many good and not so good restaurants, ranging from the Michelin star awarded “Latour”…
