Our favorite restaurant in Hoofddorp. Serves amazing dishes full of creativity, flavor and textures you've not seen or eaten before. Ow and they only use organic ingredients and vegetables grown in their own garden! Price-wise, this would be medium to medium/high (expect to pay 30-40 per person on average). The restaurant is beautifully located at a peaceful lake surrounded by Hoofddorp's natural park. NOTE: you will need an Uber or car to reach the restaurant, but it will be worth EVERY penny!
