Just 500m from the North Sea, Hof aan Zee is set in a historical Scandinavian farmhouse nestled in tranquil natural surroundings. The chef has developed his own Zeeland-inspired Nordic style – playful and expressive, with notes of fermentation, hints of smoke and a full appreciation for local produce such as Eastern Scheldt fish and seaweed. He adds punch to raw wild duck tartare with wild garlic capers, finely chopped shallot, a potato emulsion and blackcurrant powder for herbal vibrancy. This is a culinary journey defined by purity and a deep reverence for the local environment. Take the opportunity to stay in one of the guestrooms by the kitchen garden – an experience not to missed!
"For us, sustainability goes without saying. My grandmother already cooked this way, with whatever grew in the garden or came from nearby farms – fresh, local and zero waste. Any leftovers were re-used or preserved. At Hof Aan Zee, we carry on this tradition. We partner with farmers, fishermen and cultivators who demonstrate the same respect for the soil, sea and seasons. We ferment and preserve ingredients to minimise wastage and strive to make choices that are fair to both people and the planet."
