Best cuisine, on the road to a star, on the island. An experience and nearby! Everyone eats the same and the same: almost entirely local from the Wad, and the rest of the island.
20 minutes by car
See and be seen... but also delicious dishes to share, nice drinks on the fantastic terrace overlooking the sea! Open all year round.
15 minutes by car
Good Indonesian cuisine, LvY / Anneke's Kitchen, small intimate restaurant in Den Burg where Chef Anneke rules. Standard 5-course surprise menu.
