9 X All Day Restaurants in the dutch countryside

Restaurant Het Ruiterhuys

Tuin van de Smid

Youโ€™ll find this tranquil spot on the edge of Leiden, right in the middle of Cronesteynpark. Here, the focus is on human and animal friendliness, and the chef prepares delicious vegan and vegetarian meals using organic ingredients.

Rust Wat

This restaurant is often the setting for TV shows. Set deep in the woods in the peaceful area of ‘t Gooi, and by a large pond, it’s the perfect spot for an extensive dinner or simply a cup of coffee.

Buitenplaats Plantage

Enjoy slow food at the beautiful walking and cycling area of Woestduin. Too cold to sit outside? This former garden shed captures all the sunlight. Tip: Buitenplaats Plantage also offers a silent walk with a mindfulness coach.
