About

Set within a grand historic estate amid the natural landscapes of Twente, Carelshaven is one of the most distinctive dining addresses in the east of the Netherlands. The warmly appointed restaurant — open every day of the week for both lunch and dinner — offers a refined yet welcoming atmosphere that reflects the grandeur of its surroundings.

Chef Arturo Dalhuisen steers the kitchen with a Modern French sensibility: technically accomplished cooking that is bold in flavour combinations and meticulous in execution. Guests can compose their own experience, choosing from a four- to six-course signature menu, a botanical menu, a surprise menu, or dishes from the à la carte selection. Maître-sommelier Erwin Lansing adds another dimension, pairing each meal with well-chosen wines from a list that spans accessible everyday options to more special bottles by the glass.

The restaurant's standing is well-documented: Gault&Millau awards it 14.5 out of 20, Michelin has selected it, and it features in the 2026 Lekker Top 500. More than 600 Google reviewers give it a score of 4.2, underscoring its broad and consistent appeal.

With prices ranging from €60 to €85, Carelshaven strikes a balance between ambition and accessibility — a compelling reason to make the journey to Delden.

Casual quarters, some with balconies, plus an elegant restaurant, a garden & event space.
