It's a chilly early spring day and their Lobster Bisque was perfect. The butter is perfect too. Every detail covered. I'll be back for their 37€ prix dice dinner.

We visited…read moreabout 1 year ago and I wanted to do something special for my Oma (who has always supported me) so I selected a nice tasting menu close to her home of Baarn. Little did I know this was the restaurant where my Opa proposed to her - what a beautiful surprise!!! The location is remote, peaceful and the grounds of the restaurant are beautiful (including a garden where they grow some of their own produce). The service was attentive, friendly and respectful. We went for the largest tasting menu with wine pairings - the pairings were also very well received (my oma mentioning she did not like red wine much, but after her first taste said "this is pretty good I think I could like this"). The food was truly gorgeous, thoughtful and technique driven without being overbearing. The ingredients were fresh and I still recall (a year later) the langoustine, foie and green apple dish that was the stand out of the night -- that's my kind of surf n' turf. It is experiences like this that remind me why the Michelin guide might be so stingy in cities like Chicago - because the food here was truly on a different level and wildly deserving of a star. DELICIOUS!!!!

Each plate I saw carried by was a delight to the eyes and if their meal was as tasty as mine then I can say there were a lot of happy people this day. The menu was well rounded enough to give anyone more than a few offerings and concise enough to be focused on regional specialties. The pannenkoeken (pancake) are a Dutch speciality and the reason for our visit (besides it being a lovely short bike ride away from town). Maurits Hoeve offers a few predesigned pancakes as well as a choice of fillings to build your own. Deciding on the shorwma pannenkoeken was an easy choice. The beautiful plate sized pancake with a small salad of baby greens, capers and some crunchy pickle along with a garlic sauce and a generous helping of meat made for a full meal on the sunny patio. The house wine was full bodied and dry. They offer many more tempting entrees as well as snacks and desserts that I am looking forward to trying another time. Anyone in the area would want to make the journey for this absolute gem. We'll be going back for sure.

Interior is elegant (but not overwhelmingly elegant), furnished in bright colours. What attracts the attention is a giant wooden table with the top made of one huge piece of trunk. Wow! Atmosphere was almost familiar, you could feel that many people are regulars. Going to the merits, food was great! I ate salmon tartare, deer with mushrooms, potato puree, brussel sprouts and crispy zucchini. It was all so delicious! Creme brulee for dessert was also perfect choice. I take away one star for noise level. It was realy extremely hard to hear anyone there. Besides that - perfect.
