Your evening

Your evening at Smaakmakers

From your booking to the last cup of coffee. And how a menu actually comes about.

01Your evening

From the door to the coffee.

Beforehand
Book
Online or by phone, for two to eight guests. Allergy or diet? Add it to your booking.
17:30
Arriving
Annabel or someone from the floor takes your coat. An aperitif at the bar first? You can, but you don’t have to.
At the table
Choosing
Four or six courses, or à la carte. We ask if there’s anything you really don’t like.
During
Course by course
Every course comes with a short explanation. The cooks often bring a plate themselves.
After the last course
Coffee and the bill
The bill comes to your table, card or cash. There’s no rush.

02Behind the pass

Eight times a year it starts again. This is the week before a menu reaches the table.

Mon
Tasting day
The makers bring what there is. Arjen cooks all day, the team tastes.
Tue
Fine-tuning
Whatever isn’t good enough is dropped. Annabel finds the wines to go with it.
Wed
First evening
The new menu is on the table. After service we discuss every plate.
Thu
Set
From now on the menu stays for six weeks. Small things change with the harvest.

04Agreements

Give us a call. We’ll hold your table, but the courses will shift.

Cancelling costs nothing as long as it’s at least 24 hours ahead. Later, €25 per person: your food has already been bought.

Children aged about ten and up who can manage a long evening are welcome. We don’t have a children’s menu.

The restaurant and the toilet are step-free. So is the conservatory.

Up to and including week 45: Mushroom & game. After that: Cabbage & chestnut.
