Thijs Meliefste is a name synonymous with excellence. His restaurant is located in a picturesque setting, with a gorgeous terrace overlooking a marina on Veerse Meer lagoon. The decor in the intimate dining space is rather understated and evokes a sense of tranquillity. The glass-walled kitchen reveals a serene scene of food preparation. But think of it as the calm before the storm, because the arrival of the appetisers at your table brings a burst of intense sophistication. Chef Meliefste's cooking style is characterised by intricate details and a wide range of techniques. The natural bounty of Zeeland's soil and waters are his source of inspiration. His creativity shines through in his intricate dishes, each bite sparking your curiosity. Our inspectors were bowled over by his take on paling in 't groen (eel in a green herb sauce). A local fisherman delivers the fish at around noon, which guarantees exceptional quality. Chef Meliefste has a masterful way of bringing out the eel's natural richness. Garnishes such as crunchy kohlrabi and a watercress cream provide a refreshing contrast. And to top it off, the delectable sauce based on eel fumet and infused with aromatic herbs… Now, that is a dish with character – the artful presentation brings it to life. Captivating cuisine!
