De Bloemenbeek

"Is that a deer or hare bounding across the sweeping fields that surround this country manor? Very possibly! A meal at De Bloemenbeek always comes with a side of serene natural beauty. Be sure to take the aperitif in the warm and inviting lounge before moving through to the stylish restaurant area, where a dark carpet, glinting chandeliers and open fireplace set the stage for a cosy fine dining experience. Game hunted in the Twente region, vegetables from local farmers and Far Eastern flavours are artfully brought together by master chef Michel van Riswijk and head chef Vincent Goris. Expect classically indulgent robust sauces and exquisite creams. The best of the Twente terroir meets expertise and the occasional creative flourish in dishes that leave a lasting impression. Succulent pan-fried pike-perch with wonderfully crispy skin is, for example, accompanied by finely chopped white cabbage stewed in vanilla butter, as well as a warm, umami-rich vinaigrette with capers and smoked eel, plus crispy Bentheim Black Pied pork belly. The generosity here is genuine!" - Michelin Inspector
