6x culinary delights and great sleep!

Go on a culinary voyage of discovery at Mondragon in Zierikzee.

Overlooking the Noordhaven gate and the old sailing ships on the quay, you soon imagine yourself in the Middle Ages. We were surprised by perhaps one of Zeeland's most beautiful spots. Cristobal de Mondragón, Spanish general from the 16th century, gave his name to the beautiful building where the luxury Hotel Mondragon is located. In addition to the fine hotel rooms and suites, you can also enjoy excellent culinary delights here.

Take at Restaurant Cristó seat at one of the beautiful tables. If you know your classics, the translation of French cuisine into the contemporary version will make you chuckle. But don't worry, even if you are less classically trained, you will enjoy the menu and dishes. On the menu, they make brief forays into Basque cuisine from time to time. They owe that to Cristó, namesake of the restaurant, and born and raised in this gastronomic region of Spain.

On the wine list, you'll find mostly European wines. And they don't shy away from recommending beautiful matching beers - or a gin-tonic. Want to know more? Then go to This link.

Delicious products from the region at Landgoed de Havixhorst in Schiphorst.

The Havixhorst of the Wijland family offers a great ambience. A top restaurant with delicious products from the region, and spacious, characteristic hotel rooms with beautiful high ceilings. And if, like us, you are a lover of a sumptuous breakfast, this is a valhalla.

The lunch menu of the Havixhorst "Le Midi" contains dishes for a more extensive lunch. So a small selection "à la carte" and a delicious lunch menu for a fair price. Do you really want to splurge? That is also possible! They also offer an extensive 5-course menu based on the dinner menu. For that luxurious 'lazy lunch' feeling. In Restaurant De Havixhorst, which is acknowledged by the Michelin Guide, Gault Millau and the Lekker 500, you dine in style.

The space alone. Tastefully laid tables, candlelight, an age-old ambiance. Not at all difficult to feel at ease here. The chef carefully selects the best local ingredients. Fruit and vegetables from small-scale farms in the ancient cultural landscape around the river De Reest. The finest meat from local game, Zuidwoldiger wool pig, tender Highland lamb or their own Scottish Highlanders, full of flavour. Be sure to ask if you can take a look in the treasure chamber of The Havixhorst: the wine cellar. The long, narrow wine cellar is a 'must see'. Want to know more? Then go to this link.

At De ABDIJ in Dokkum, they get their ingredients from Frisian soil.

The beautiful listed building that was once part of the Abbey and converted into an orphanage in 1535 now houses Hotel De ABDIJ and restaurant Proef | Lokaal Dokkum.

For a gastronomic highlight, this is the place to be. At Restaurant Gusta they live with the seasons, each season has its own menu. They attach great importance to their own cultivation and local products. Ingredients from their own farm form the basis and in cooperation with local suppliers they combine their passion. And you can taste that! They are proud that Gusta can be called a Dutch Cuisine restaurant. In this way they contribute to the objective of Dutch Cuisine: promoting the Dutch kitchen and food culture. Here the potato gets the leading role and is the star of the restaurant. It combines the best qualities a product can have: It is a nutritious ingredient and is grown sustainably. It is healthy and a culinary jack-of-all-trades.

That is why they put the "ordinary" tuber in a sexy jacket. No complicated menu but simply: different, regional, sometimes classic and a little exotic. In addition, they want to get the potato out of its negative corner. The potato is not bad, fattening or boring. Just the opposite!
