About
Tucked beside the marina of Hindeloopen, one of Friesland's most characterful small towns, De Hinde is a restaurant that feels genuinely rooted in its surroundings. Chef Harmen Ligthart draws on regional produce and vegetables grown in the restaurant's own kitchen garden, while he and Bea Ligthart together create a warmth that guests feel from the moment they arrive.
That commitment to quality is recognised: Gault&Millau awards De Hinde 13/20, and the restaurant has earned a Google rating of 4.1 from over four hundred reviewers. On fine days the outdoor terrace — with the harbour as a backdrop — makes for a particularly memorable lunch setting.
De Hinde opens Friday through Sunday, from noon until 5 PM. Reservations are accepted and recommended.
