About
Tucked away on the Zandvoortselaan in Heemstede, Southern Cross has been one of the region's most consistent destinations since it opened in 2002. The entire experience revolves around Australia — from the culinary approach to the wine list — an identity coherent enough to earn a place in the 2026 Lekker Top 500 and a 13/20 from Gault&Millau.
The menu is designed for curiosity: à la carte dishes are served in starter-sized portions, encouraging guests to mix and match across the table. A chef's menu is also available, with a full vegetarian version on offer. Kamado grilling is one of the techniques that gives the kitchen its distinctive character, and the warmth of the hospitality is as much a draw as what arrives on the plate.
A Google rating of 4.7 from 486 reviews tells a story of guests who keep coming back. When the weather allows, the outdoor terrace provides a relaxed setting to round off the experience.
Book your table and see why Southern Cross has been a Heemstede favourite for over two decades.
