About
Right in the heart of Harderwijk, Caert has carved out a distinctive identity: the culinary precision of fine dining married to the relaxed warmth of a gastrobar. Owners Carmen Seijerlin and Sjoert van Polen deliberately created a place where guests can settle in for a multi-course dinner or simply drop by for a quality glass of wine and some small bites — a dual character that gives the restaurant its lively, unpretentious energy.
Chef Ferdinand Bijzet leads the kitchen, offering everything from a snack-and-drinks menu to three- and four-course dinners, all executed with a care that earned Caert a 13/20 from Gault&Millau. More than 280 Google reviewers agree, awarding the restaurant an average of 4.7 out of 5 — a strong signal that both the hospitality and the food consistently deliver.
Caert is open Tuesday through Thursday for dinner, and on Fridays and Saturdays from midday onwards. An outdoor seating area adds to the appeal when the weather plays along. Reservations are accepted and warmly recommended.
