Slagmolen

The charm of this authentic watermill, whose machinery is visible inside, is flanked by a modern “barn”, which sports immense windows overlooking the stunning natural countryside. In addition to a peaceful terrace, the establishment boasts four deluxe rooms to prolong the evening in style. A marriage of old and new also characterises the food. The styles of dad, Bert, and Giel, his son, have been merged and are gathering momentum. Family favourites such as lobster and a dame blanche dessert (with vanilla ice cream prepared on the spot) remain firm fixtures on the menu, complete with traditional techniques and lashings of generosity. However, the younger generation is adding a distinctive whiff of modernity to the plating and through subtle details that underscore and highlight contrasting flavours, whilst losing none of the establishment’s hallmark delicacy or generosity. Heaven for discerning foodies with healthy appetites.
