De Bokkedoorns

Had a great evening. Atmospheric place, excellent and pleasant service, and of course fantastic food. The only thing I missed was a wine pairing. They explained why they don’t offer it, but personally I prefer not having to think about the wine selection myself. And it does push the costs up, which are already substantial. 😊

Two star Michelin restaurant that absolutely deserves its rating! A gastronomic delight. We had an amazing 7 course menu with wine pairing that was out of this world. The staff were so attentive to our every need and were so knowledgeable about the menu and the sommelier regaled us with details of the wines we enjoyed. One of the best dining experiences of my life.

Our group of three visited Bokkendoorns last Friday for dinner.  Sadly, our experience was extremely sub-par. First, the food was excellent.  Easily 5-Stars.  Everything was incredible as to be expected. However, the service was just not good and really hurt the overall experience. Initial drink order: They don't offer a wine pairing, so we asked for recommendations on what works with the first course.  Our server just asked, "Do you like red or white?"  We said we don't care, just recommend what works.  The server simply had no idea what to suggest and there was no sommelier on staff. Amuse-bouche: We had a food allergy and pescetarian in our group.  Oddly enough, the amuse-bouche was delivered with the one food allergy ingredient for one of the guests and meat for the pescatarian.  Not a huge deal by any means, and they fixed it right away, but this is typically something that shouldn't happen in a place like this. Subsequent drink order:  On our next drink order, we asked for recommendations on what type of wine to order for pairing purposes and a different server had the same response of simply asking if we like red or white instead of suggesting something that goes with the meal. Table Cleanliness:  They brought bread for the table, which was great, however crumbs get everywhere with bread.  Nobody came by to swipe the crumbs until the very end of the meal.  Again, not a big deal to me, but it's that extra touch to be expected from a Michellin two-star establishment. Final Drink order and Bill:  Towards the end of the meal, we sat for at least 10-15 minutes with empty glasses before someone came by for drink orders.  It was really odd how something like empty glasses can be overlooked several times by employees walking by our table.  Then once our meal was over, it took a really long time to get our bill. Overall, it was just somewhat of a cold experience from a service standpoint in every aspect.  I've always been "Wowed" at the level of service from Michellin starred restaurants, but this definitely was not on point or on the same level.

Absolutely exceptional dining experience! The setting is serene, nestled in the dunes, and the service is warm and attentive without being intrusive. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor — a true showcase of creativity and precision. Perfect spot for a special occasion or a refined culinary treat. 🌟🍽️✨

We went to De Bokkedoorns for our one-year anniversary. It was an absolutely wonderful experience! We got there just before 6 PM and didn't leave until almost midnight. It was over five hours of incredible service and food. Our servers Jane, Deb, and Don were wonderful and helped make the experience one we will never forget. It’s difficult to pick a favorite course, but we were glad that we opted to get the optional cheese course. It was delicious and we are still talking about it weeks later. We are Americans, so this restaurant is not close by, but we already promised each other that we will be back in ten years to celebrate our 11th Anniversary. The place is that special!

We had the 7 course menu - well worth the two Michelin star. Great attention to details, beautiful plated and the food was exquisite. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Will definitely come back!

A ok two stars Michelin restaurant. Food is delicious and delicate. Very good service, staffs are polite and helpful. The environment is relaxing and with a beautiful view facing a lake. Outside seating is nice with the sun shining, the interior inside is elegant and classic, comfortable seats to enjoy the meals. Toilets are clean and super modern. Yet, for the value of money, we expect better bread and butter, maybe because we have had better homemade bread and nicely prepared herbal butter in other normal restaurants before.

The perfect place to celebrate a special occasion. The staff are excellent, very attentive and genuinely friendly. We had the tasting menu with the accompanying wine and it was fantastic! The crab was a particular highlight along with so many of the sauces accompanying every dish! They leave a small amount on the table and some bread if you would like to have more sauce! The wines were all very interesting and one of the best combinations I've had. As it was our anniversary (and perhaps because I was in a kilt and my wife in her wedding dress) we received a small gift from the kitchen.

Great location by a small lake, but, when we visited, the weeds were overgrown, obscuring what may have been a lovely view of the lake. The food is of the highest quality and artfully presented, both of which are reflected in the price. I ordered a 4-course meal with the four courses featuring celery and langoustines, gnocchi, lamb, and strawberries respectively. I enjoyed the flavor of the langoustine and strawberry courses. The lamb was cooked to perfection, but the sauce was thin and contributed little to the dish. I did not like the sauce in the gnocchi course, and no ingredient in the dish managed to subdue the denseness of the gnocchi. I docked one star for the obstructed view and two less than perfect courses, but I still had a nice time here.

Amazing location by a small lake. Have a drink in the terrace to start with. Great menu and also a la carte. Great cheese selection..

The restaurant has two Michelin stars and its menu is priced accordingly. Nevertheless, my gastronomic friends and I enjoyed one of the finest dinners ever at the Bokkedoorns. Highly recommended if you're willing to pay for high quality,
