About
Tucked away in the village of Middelstum in Groningen, Herberg in de Valk is one of the Netherlands' most intimate dining experiences. The historic inn sits alongside the Boterdiep canal, complete with a terrace and private mooring — a quietly spectacular backdrop for an evening out.
Chef-owner Mark Willem Evenhuis runs the kitchen and the dining room in the truest sense: with a maximum of twelve guests per service, he personally serves each course himself. The menu follows a French-inspired philosophy, offered as a surprise tasting menu of four to six courses that changes every two months, keeping regulars coming back. Gault&Millau awards the restaurant a score of 13/20, while Google reviewers rate it an impressive 4.7 across more than 215 reviews.
The restaurant opens exclusively on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings from 6:30 PM. Two luxury rooms with water views are also available for guests wishing to extend their stay.
Only twelve seats, three nights a week — book your table at Herberg in de Valk before someone else does.
