About
Tucked among the forests of Lage Vuursche, just beside the historic Slot Drakensteyn, De Lage Vuursche has been welcoming guests since 1865. Today, the fifth generation of the Oosterom family carries on that legacy — a rare depth of history that gives the restaurant its unmistakable, unhurried warmth.
Roderick van Oosterom steers the front of house with genuine hospitality, while chef Laurens Hensen crafts a broad, generously conceived menu rooted in classical technique. The combination earned the restaurant a Gault&Millau score of 13/20 and a place in the Michelin selection — recognition that reflects a kitchen firing consistently at a high level. The wine list, too, is worth a special mention.
More than 1,100 Google reviews averaging 4.2 confirm that diners keep coming back. An outdoor terrace lets guests soak up the wooded surroundings, vegetarian options are available, and moderate pricing ensures that this storied address remains an accessible choice for all kinds of occasions.
Book your table and experience five generations of Dutch hospitality at its finest.
