The portions are huge so I would go with the SamSam approach which cuts your portion in half for just over half the price. Everything is in Dutch so bring your dictionary. If your lucky you might get one of two wait staff who speak English, but it is fun to see what you wind up with. The roasted peppers with tutti fruity appetizer was an unusual collection of flavors but went very well together. Prices are a bit on the high side of moderate but the portions are enough to share and the combinations are worth experiencing.

Summary: Great place…read moreto visit, very friendly staff and above all great food! As I think there is always room for improvement I give this place 4 stars instead of 5 ;-) Nicely situated in the center of Doorn in an old bank (hence the name "De Kluis" which means "safe" in Dutch. The old big safe doors are still visible and give a nice touch to the interior) this restaurant uses the "sam-sam" concept which means you can split two starters, main dishes and deserts in one menu. This gives customers the opportunity to taste a wide variety of food from the menu. "De Kluis" has a wide variety of meat, fish and vegetarian dishes on their menu so a lot to pick from. We (party of two) had smoked chicken with tomato and pesto and mushtoom salad with cheese as starter and a meat plate for main dish. The chicken was very tasteful with a nice smokey flavour which blended very well with the sundried tomato and pesto. The mushroom and cheese was also a great combination. We were also not disappointed with the main dish which had a nice variety of meat (beef, chicken and pork) served with an eastern flavour. The creme brulee as desert was done the way it should be so no complaints there.. Staff was friendly, efficient and welcoming. Happy to see another place in a small town like Doorn worth visiting.

But it doesn't stop there. He continues to innovate and shows his creativity in the processing of the garnishes. The diversity of textures, playing with cold and hot, powerful sauces but also subtle acidity. With such subtleties, Chef Van Alten creates depth. He favors fish, though the lamb back under sea salt is a classic here. The charming hostess' wine pairings enhance the delicate dishes. At the intimate La Provence, with its beautifully green terrace, they know how to spoil their guests. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
