Eiland Keuken


Texel produce forms the backbone of this stylish bistro's quality cooking: Waddenzee oysters with lemon and samphire salsa, smoked-mackerel ceviche, chocolate-dusted Texel lamb with roast Den Burg apples and beetroot mousse, and sea buckthorn and raspberry sorbet with candied blackberries. Kids can dine on half-portions of adult dishes for half price.
