This is your ticket to Japan without taking a plane 🥢
@tewatashi.ams in De Pijp serves an authentic Edo-Mae Sushi Experience and is super consistent in their quality.
It's the place we keep going back to when we have something to celebrate <3.
In this video I'm sharing the 2 hour experience in 60 seconds.
Still dreaming about the buttery ika nigiri. 🤤

@eetcafe_de_reiger is the spot to remember.
Cozy, casual, and a seasonal menu. This one was on my list to share for a year and finally it's (almost) asparagus season again! 🤤
Another plus? Prices are very reasonable here!
📍 Eetcafé de Reiger
Jordaan, Amsterdam City Centre
Save this spot for when you're craving warm Dutch traditional dishes in the heart of Amsterdam.
And did you hear the same team took over Eetcafé van Beeren? I can't wait to go there too!

A cookbook from Grandma. Three Michelin stars. And a beautiful 70s villa in a quiet neighborhood in Bangkok, where you are welcomed as if you were at the chefs' home.
The Sühring brothers do not cook based on trends; they cook from memories. Of their grandmother's farm, of the flavors of their youth in Germany, and of techniques passed down through generations.
@relaischateaux invited me to experience Sühring during a solo lunch, and this is truly my ultimate definition of culinary self-care.
This was a surprising afternoon in Bangkok, where I ate the best German food I have ever tasted. And that in a city where I normally avoid European restaurants. Well, for @restaurant_suhring, you really want to make that exception.
Signature dishes that I still think back to regularly?
🍴 Labskaus with caviar
🍴 Enleta waffle with Pfalz vinegar
🍴 Game pie
🍴 Dry aged Duck
TIP: If you go to Sühring, reserve the seats at the kitchen bar so you have a view of the chefs at work!
Follow @yourlbb for more tips you can trust.

In this reels I take you along for fine dining in Bangkok at the three Michelin starred restaurant Sühring.
This is one of the nicest free outings in the spring! Did you know that you can gather (or pick, for the connoisseurs 😉) oysters yourself in various places in the Netherlands? I’m in Zeeland for a bit this weekend, and if we can, we’ll go again.
📍In this video, I show where you can fill your bucket.
Comment oester for the comprehensive guide with all details about all 8 locations + handy tips and rules.
Important to know:
– Max. 10 kilos per person (≈ 1 bucket)
– For personal use only
– Do not scoop or scrape the soil
– Go at low tide
Handy to take with you:
Bucket, screwdriver, boots, work gloves, tea towel, clean clothes and garbage bags (for the oysters and dirty clothes).
And of course: also bring an oyster knife, lemon and champagne 🍋🥂Because you want to taste something right away!
The oyster season runs from September to about April / early May, so now that the water isn't so cold, this is the perfect outing.
In the full guide, I share exactly where you can easily find them without much effort. Leave a comment and I'll send it to you right away!
Who do you want to go oyster collecting with soon?

These are those few magical weeks each year when the city suddenly feels different. Everything is in bloom and all you want to do is be outside. Coffee to-go in hand, and just head out as soon as the sun shows up.

23 Best Restaurants in Middelburg You Should Keep on Your Radar
Cafe Cliche
Café Cliche's main location is in Amsterdam, but that doesn't mean the Middelburg location isn't worth a visit. Quite the opposite, the food is incredibly good. The varied menu features a variety of flavorful dishes, often with an Asian twist. The dishes are meticulously presented, and the flavors of the ingredients blend beautifully. Moreover, the warm interior creates a homey atmosphere. Café Cliche is a place where you can always enjoy a good meal and that might just become your new favorite!
Market 75, Middelburg – cafecliche.com
Sharp
Located in the historic center of Middelburg is Restaurant Scherp. This charming restaurant combines historic character with a modern vibe. This delightful mix is also reflected in the menu. Classic dishes feature the finest Zeeland ingredients and trendy Asian seasonings as a finishing touch. The result is (sometimes) spicy flavor explosions that make a huge impression. Think, for example, of asparagus with wakame ice cream or a fruit dessert with Thai basil. Restaurant Scherp has quickly reached a huge audience, and we're confident that the number of regular customers will continue to grow significantly!
Wijngaardstraat 1-5, Middelburg – restaurantscherp.nl
bars
Owners Edwin and Sjoerd have worked together for years before launching restaurant Barres. This is immediately apparent upon entering. Edwin's dishes and Sjoerd's wine selection are beautifully complemented. Edwin serves classic dishes with international influences, while Sjoerd selects a wine that complements the diverse flavors and your personal preferences. This creates a beautiful harmony that translates into a unique experience. Moreover, everything about restaurant Barres is spot on. Every detail is beautifully and meticulously crafted, yet the atmosphere remains relaxed and inviting. Highly recommended!
Square 1940 10, Middelburg – restaurantbarres.nl
Vert
As the name suggests, restaurant Vert is a restaurant with a green heart. Vegetables take center stage here. Most ingredients come from their own vegetable garden or from the surrounding region. The menu features light, refreshing dishes complemented by a delicious glass of natural wine. Vert also offers homemade non-alcoholic drinks. You can enjoy these healthy drinks in peace on the secluded terrace. This courtyard is surrounded by plants, making you instantly forget you're in the city center. Vert is a wonderfully pleasant surprise and definitely deserves a spot on the list of great restaurants in Middelburg.

The Golden Bock
Everyone in Middelburg knows the seafood at De Gouden Bock restaurant. This delightful restaurant, located on Damplein square, stands out thanks to its stately building and cozy atmosphere. At this establishment, craftsmanship and freshness are paramount. The focus is on fresh fish, although the chef also serves game in season. The bread, the sauces, and more… Everything at De Gouden Bock is homemade with fresh ingredients. This results in dishes that combine various intense flavors, creating a fresh, flavorful, and pure experience. This excellent fish restaurant is considered by many to be the best in Middelburg, and we certainly agree!
Damplein 17, Middelburg – degoudenbock.nl
Restaurant no. 7
The building of Restaurant No. 7 has a distinctly historic character. Until 28 years ago, it was a private residence, and every effort has been made to preserve many of its historic features. The original floor, combined with some modern details, creates a warm, homely atmosphere, and the impeccable hospitality complements this perfectly. The menu features classic dishes prepared with fresh ingredients. The delicious dishes, often with international influences, are incredibly tasty, and it's a wonderful place to relax!
Rotterdamsekaai 7, Middelburg – restaurantje.nl
Cloverniersdoelen
In the authentic garden room of the Kloverniersdoelen in Middelburg, you'll find restaurant De Houttuinen. This cozy restaurant is an oasis of calm in the bustling city, making it the ideal setting to escape all your stress. The cuisine at De Houttuinen is fresh and healthy. A delicious salad, a refreshing soup, or a hearty egg? Here, you can always find fresh and surprisingly delicious food. After your meal, you can also stroll around the lush garden while enjoying the warming rays of the sun. De Houttuinen is a magical place in Middelburg that you definitely have to visit!
Behind the Houttuinen 30, Middelburg – dehouttuinen.nl
Swedish Regions
Zweeuwse Streken is definitely a must-try in Middelburg. This incredibly cozy restaurant with a colorful interior serves delicious dishes. The chef uses only local produce: fish caught by local fishermen, game from the hunter, and vegetables from the farm just down the road. The pure flavors of the ingredients are impressive. The chef avoids overly elaborate dishes, opting instead for simple classics with intense flavors. Each dish seems to surpass the last. Zweeuwse Streken is a true asset to Middelburg and elevates local gastronomy to a new level.

The Packhuys
If you've ever visited the Middelburg City Theatre, you're probably familiar with Het Packhuys restaurant. This charming venue is located near the theatre, right on the beautiful marina. The stunning building boasts a classic and warm interior, and the terrace offers a stunning view of the water. The cuisine is particularly notable for its craftsmanship. The chef prepares every dish himself, from the sauces to the ice cream and the bread. He primarily uses local ingredients, ensuring that every flavor is fresh and vibrant. A real winner!
Kinderdijk 84, Middelburg – hetpackhuys.nl
Bites
A hip restaurant in the former location of Restaurant Tamboer, Brasserie Bijts is a very trendy establishment with attractive accessories. Cool lounge chairs, playful references to famous paintings, and a menu that reads like a magazine are just a few examples. Brasserie Bijts presents simple dishes with global flavors. You can choose from bao buns, Iberico ham, or noodle salad, among other options. Simple preparations you wouldn't even try at home. Brasserie Bijts is definitely one of the best restaurants in Middelburg, and you can definitely recommend it!
Square 1940 6, Middelburg – brasseriebijts.nl
Restaurant Ukiyo
The list of best restaurants in Middelburg naturally includes an Asian gem. Ukiyo, Japanese for "floating world," is known for its delicious and authentic sushi. Besides the well-known maki and sashimi, the menu also features several surprising discoveries. It's the ideal place to explore Japanese cuisine and embark on a culinary journey. Ukiyo's goal is to offer its guests a setting where they can fully relax. Alcohol is therefore not available, as the owners feel it's not appropriate. Ukiyo is a unique concept in Middelburg that could well become a true hotspot.
Vlasmarkt 13, Middelburg – ukiyo.nl
Silvy's Gusti e Sapori Trattoria
Sardinia is known not only for its white beaches but also for its incredibly delicious cuisine. Silvy's Gusti e Sapori Trattora has Sardinian origins, and you'll immediately recognize these in the dishes. The characteristic, robust flavors dominate every preparation, giving each specialty a unique touch. Silvy's Gusti e Sapori Trattoria is more than just an Italian restaurant. The menu features Sardinian specialties and unique combinations. How about marinated shrimp with orange or pasta with fish in an egg sauce? The authentic flavors are always preserved, and the chef does Sardinian cuisine justice!

Coffee 't Hof
Kaffee 't Hof is a cafe in Middelburg you'll want to check out. Simply because sometimes you just don't feel like being in the hot spots and trendy interiors. This is the place to go for pub classics like spare ribs, craft beer, and (often) live music.
Vlasmarkt 20, Middelburg – Kaffeethof.nl
Basalt Restaurant
This fish restaurant on historic Sint Janstraat is open from lunch to dinner. It's the perfect spot to enjoy a seafood platter and other shellfish near the Vismarkt in Middelburg. Prefer not to have fish? No worries, there are also vegetarian and meat options.
Sint Janstraat 34, Middelburg – Restaurant-basalt.nl
Luuks Bread & Patisserie
At this bakery, you'll find not only artisan-baked sourdough bread, but also an early-morning breakfast with a good cup of coffee. And did I mention they also have some delicious cakes?
Square 1940 15, Middelburg – Luuksbroodenpatisserie.nl
Restaurant Sharp
When we have something to celebrate with the family, we do it at Restaurant Scherp in the picturesque Wijngaardstraat. Here, Chef Mart cooks with the finest ingredients the province has to offer. You can dine à la carte, but it's more fun (and even more delicious) to choose one of the set menus with paired wines.
Wijngaardstraat 1, Middelburg – restaurantscherp.nl
The Inn
A few years ago, De Herberg's interior and concept were completely overhauled, transforming this local favorite from a traditional traditional pub into a hotspot with a cozy, homey atmosphere. With one of the city's best terraces, it's definitely a place to stop for a drink!

Fries shop Btje Anders
There's not a city in this book where we haven't spotted a trendy chip shop. Middelburg is no exception! This chip shop was even named the best chip shop in Zeeland by the AD newspaper. You understand: I had to try it for myself. Honestly, the fries with Zeeland beef stew are indeed delicious!
Reigestraat 3, Middelburg – Froetboetiekbtjeanders.nl
Fromagerie Forianne
Fromagerie Forianne has been a fixture in Middelburg for years. In this cheese and specialty shop, you can find not only international cheeses, but also olives, tapenades, and Belgian charcuterie. Unique to this shop is that they freshly roast all their peanuts and other nuts, creating incredibly intense and delicious flavors. The selection is extensive and impressive; for cheese lovers, Fromagerie Forianne is definitely the place to be. You can also find sandwiches here, which some consider the tastiest in Middelburg!
Damplein 1, Middelburg – fromagerieforianne.nl
The Flying Deer
In this historic building, in one of Middelburg's most beautiful locations, you can learn more about wines (as well as beers and whiskeys). During a wine tasting, you'll sample a unique collection of wines from the vaulted cellar beneath the building.
Dam 61, Middelburg – Flyingdeer.nl
Saint John
Certainly not a hotspot, but believe me, you'll want to know this place. I was already coming here as a high school student, and even now, I never miss this place on any visit to Middelburg. Why? Because they have the most delicious frozen yogurt here. Trust me, you'll want to try it for yourself! With a bit of luck, it'll be on the lovely terrace at the Vismarkt when the weather is nice.
Sint Janstraat 40, Middelburg – Sintjohn.nl
The teacher
At De Juf, you're welcome early in the morning for coffee and cake. All the delicious treats in this artisanal cookie and cake shop are made with 100% Zeeland wheat. For those with a sweet tooth, the high tea is highly recommended and also very enjoyable. Prefer a savory pie? That's also possible!
Damplein 20, Middelburg – Dejufmiddelburg.nl
Voice
Good news for those who love the delicious coffee from Antwerp's Caffènation. You don't have to go to d'Anvers for that; you can go to specialty coffee bar Røst in Middelburg.
