De Jong

The wild flowers on the tables say it all. Jim de Jongโ€™s says his restaurant creates dishes using “the best nature has to offer”. Seasonal vegetables, flowers and herbs feature in his kitchen located under the hip Hofbogen, a stoneโ€™s throw from the Hofplein and its landmark fountain. Some of the produce comes from de Jongโ€™s own vegetable garden, but the young chef also harvests from the wild; you canโ€™t get any more local than that. De Jong is an adventurer and loves to experiment. Diners are served whatever is available at the time. His two four-course menus โ€“ one with fish and meat and the other vegetarian โ€“ change weekly. Our tip is to order both options and sample each otherโ€™s dishes.
