Menu

What is on the table

The regular lunch menu is entirely vegetarian, changing monthly to follow seasonal availability. Dishes draw on French-Mediterranean tradition, with vegetables, legumes, and herbs from Park Frankendael taking centre stage. The kitchen accommodates gluten-free, lactose-free, and nut-free requirements on request. For private group dinners, meat from Lindenhoff farm and day-caught North Sea fish are available.
