Tante Koosje

This restaurant is named after Koosje Edema, once a prominent figure in this lovely village. Her former home is now a magnet for foodies. The old-world interior is cosy and charming, with soft ambient lighting and antique furnishings creating an intimate atmosphere. As for the terrace by the church… In fine weather, you could feel yourself transported to the Mediterranean! Drawing on a wealth of experience, versatile chef Roland Veldhuijzen is making his mark on this magnificent location with good old-fashioned culinary expertise, showcasing his wonderful vinaigrettes and flavoured olive oils. For instance, he elevates a dish of veal tartare and pan-seared langoustine with an exquisite ponzu vinaigrette, as well as a beurre noisette and foie gras cream. He occasionally gives his creations a modern twist, but it is the refined traditional techniques that really bring out their intensity. Tante Koosje would be proud of her successors.
