They also have take away coffee now that the catering is closed. I've been here in the spring and winter. The spring is definitely more beautiful, but it's all stunning. Plenty of bike parking. Also beautiful just cycling to Elswout from Haarlem or Overveen!

We were there as a group of 8, where most of the group ordered the 4 course meal, one chose the…read more3-course meal and two opted for a la carte. The hamachi probably was my favourite item of the evening; I tasted something different in every bite, it really played on the flavours- kefir, lemongrass, atjar, it was very refreshing. Overall the rest of the meal was good, flavourful and nicely plated. Though, the experience was quite clunky. It was my first time there, but members of our party had been there before and said that their meal never took this long (we were there for 4+hours). They mentioned that the previous times they visited, the restaurant wasn't nearly as busy, so perhaps it was their ability to manage a full seating. Or the fact that our table might have been paced along with other tables that opted for 5+ courses, though I hope not.

For tourists, that may be a challenge. But if you've got the evening to spend with colleagues, it's an incredibly beautiful venue and the food is exceptional. As in, Michelin competitive exceptional. An incredibly thoughtful meal, from the intro of oysters with vinaigrette and minced onions and prosciutto, to the cherry gezpacho, the smoked eel, tuna, and angus beef, we were served course after course of amazing combinations. The raspberry and white chocolate dessert was decadent, and with our espresso we received a few final sweet treats. Add some carefully selected wines and it was an evening well spent. Rather than try to describe the flavors (there were many, and several were new experiences) I will share several photos. The grounds are gorgeous, the staff was incredibly informative and friendly, and the chef came to each table to introduce his selections for the evening. It was an event. A memory. Beautiful, flavorful and relaxing.

The most amazing thing about it is just the vast space you have. Being here feels like having moved in together with a group of friends, there are fridges with soft drinks and Nespresso machines, you simply help yourself to anything you need. To create a nice atmosphere, there is a Sonos sound system with Spotify, and also a TV screen for presentations. They do provide all possible adaptors (HDMI, VGA, Mac, etc...) in case you forget to bring your own. It is a bit pricey, but completely worth it if you want to run an event at a location that leaves an impression.
