About
Tucked away in the quiet Herenstraat in Den Hoorn, Bij Jef makes a compelling case for Texel as one of the Netherlands' most exciting culinary destinations. Chef and co-owner Jef Schuur draws on the finest local ingredients the island has to offer, preparing them with a precision and finesse that has earned the restaurant a Michelin star, a remarkable 17/20 from Gault&Millau, and a place in the 2026 Lekker Top 500.
The front of house is in equally capable hands: co-owner Nadine Mögling — maître d' and sommelier — oversees a dining experience that matches the kitchen in warmth and expertise. The wine list is excellent, the hospitality genuinely personal. The restaurant received the title of Gastvrouw van het Jaar (Hostess of the Year) in 2022, a recognition that speaks for itself. Two We're Smart radishes further underline the kitchen's commitment to green, ingredient-led cooking.
Bij Jef is open Tuesday through Saturday for dinner, with both indoor and outdoor seating available. Given its reputation, reservations are essential — and a visit here is one of the finest reasons to make the journey to this beautiful island.
