About
Situated on the Markt in historic Dokkum, ODE is the restaurant where Frisian seasonal produce meets inventive, contemporary cooking. Chef Liudger van der Meer, a Dokkum native, guides the kitchen with a deliberate 80/20 philosophy: eighty per cent of every menu is plant-based, twenty per cent animal-based. The approach has earned the restaurant a score of 14.5/20 from Gault&Millau.
At the centre of the dining room sits an open kitchen, designed to be seen and experienced. The interior's bold black-and-white palette provides a composed backdrop that lets the vivid, carefully crafted dishes on the plate speak for themselves. Fermentation and pickling are core techniques here, and a bright acidity running through the food keeps each course light and exciting.
The six-course tasting menu is the ideal way to take in everything ODE has to offer, and thoughtfully curated drink pairings — both alcoholic and non-alcoholic — are available alongside it. A Google rating of 4.9 from 85 reviews, paired with a relaxed and skilled front-of-house team, confirms that this Frisian gem is well worth the journey.
