The combination of a tranquil riverside setting and seriously accomplished modern cuisine makes this address truly one of a kind.
Chef Wilco Berends crafts his menus around honest, locally sourced and seasonal ingredients, earning the restaurant a Michelin star, a Gault&Millau score of 17/20, a place in the 2026 Lekker Top 500, and a Google rating of 4.7 from 394 reviews.
