Restaurant Versaen

Locally- and sustainably sourced casual fine dining! Tucked away in the beautiful small city of Ravenstein, restaurant Versaen blends in perfectly with the medieval buildings. After you enter the restaurant by crossing a glass floor (if you are brave enough) that gives a view into the wine cellar, you are welcomed by the warm- but modern interior and friendly staff. The staff is very attentive and able to accommodate your needs to the best of their abilities. The dishes were amazing - sophisticated but not overly complicated. We even got an explanation on how to make some of the dishes after we asked how they managed to make such delicious flavors. Each dish highlighted the main ingredient through a clear base of french style cooking, enhanced by inspiration from other cuisines. The flavors were enhanced by the wine pairings, so it is recommended to get the wine pairings or ask for advice from the sommelier. There are options for wine pairings (full glass or half glass) or non-alcoholic pairings per glass. The non-alcoholic pairings was well thought out, although it felt like drinking apple juice most of the time. The "casual fine dining" shows in the fact that the space can be a bit noisy at times, since the tables are spaced relatively close to each other and the sound can travel across the dining room. The restaurant is also directly next to a T-intersection, meaning that sometimes car headlights shine on you through the windows if the curtains of the restaurant are not closed. The restaurant does not seem to be very suitable for large groups, as there aren't many large tables available. There is also only 1 toilet for men and 1 toilet for women, meaning that sometimes you'll have to wait before being able to use the toilet. The toilet is fairly accessible for people with limited moving ability, as most of the restaurant is located on the same floor without any stairs.

From the initial reservation response, to walking in the quaint and welcoming space, Reataurant Versaen shines bright in the wonderful “small town” of Ravenstein. If you’re not a “local,” know it’s worth the journey to dine at this well-deserved Michelin badged restaurant. Every dish, from the main to the amuses, was full of flavor. While they didn’t have a wine-pairing, we had the option of having wines paired with every meal—and the server made perfect recommendations. Every person we interacted with was genuinely happy to be working there, and the dinner could not have been nicer. Will definitely be recommending to friends and family!

Great place for fine dining with good sleeping option next door. The food is 1 Star plus, while the wines in the pairing Menue are a bit too young and average in my humble opinion… and according to my personal taste. The team was outstandingly easy going and professional 👍🙏

We had a perfect dinner served by very friendly staff.

Amazing experience, amazing staff. Can't wish for a better place to be

Versaen is an outstanding restaurant. We booked the package with the hotel on the other side of the street and had an amazing night. Great food, outstanding and generous service, the building itself is an experience.

We ate at home due to corona, very clear instructions on how to prepare. It was amazing!

Reservation was cancelled by the restaurant only two hours in advance.
