About
Tucked away near a scenic walking area on the outskirts of Katwijk aan Zee, Het Panbos is the restaurant of chef and owner Joke van Rijn. The address on Wassenaarseweg feels deliberately chosen: the tranquil, natural surroundings set the tone for a kitchen deeply rooted in the Dutch Cuisine philosophy.
Van Rijn builds her cooking around high-quality Dutch produce, putting it on the plate with honesty and directness rather than unnecessary flourish. That commitment has earned the restaurant a 12/20 from Gault&Millau, while two We're Smart radishes recognise the focus on sustainable and plant-forward ingredients.
With prices ranging from €25 to €52, Het Panbos offers an accessible entry point into thoughtful, produce-led Dutch gastronomy — a rewarding stop for locals and hikers alike.
