We have been excited to make our way back south to try and had the opportunity for this trip. The staff has always been fantastic, but there appears to be a bit more pep in their step from the shared pride in the new environment. We did the seafood tasting menu with recommended wine pairings and were pleasantly surprised at how tasty and well done every course and side was. It was more traditional than some of the gastronomy courses we have seen on their Instagram, but it was midweek and the clientele most likely come for something more classic. This would be a fantastic restaurant in Amsterdam, Antwerp, or Rotterdam, but for BOZ it is breathtaking. On top of that, the value for the quality and attention to detail are second to none in the area. The owners of the hotel and the new head chef Tim have done an excellent job of bringing something that genuinely accentuates the Oldest Hotel in the Netherlands!

Everything on the menu and the specials of the day sounded so delicious. I tried looking at what other people were eating, but it just made my decision even harder! In the end I decided on sweet potatoes with parsley sauce. My sister-in-law had a similar problem and in the end ordered a tart made with butter turnips topped with a cauliflower sauce. Both were outstanding - so fresh! Also helps that everything's organic :) The people working at Native are so friendly. We came at a peak lunch time without reservations and rather than sending us away he tried his best to find us a place to eat. He also was super helpful explaining all the dishes and offering suggestions. This friendliness only enhances the calm, cool atmosphere of the restaurant.

This place makes their waffles gluten free and dairy free. Although I don't have any dietary restrictions I decided to try it. I was pleasantly surprised how good these waffles were. Usually I don't care for gluten free stuffs. These were delicious. The presentation was beautiful too. I would recommend this place. The only bad thing is that this place is small; no place to sit.

Then, there are few places that serve excellent and near-perfect edible arts. These places don't need anything else but their products to attract foodies. Loft Der Zoetheid definitely falls into this category. I personally haven't been treated poorly like a few reviewers pointed out. In fact, I've always experienced excellent services here. The owner even gave us complimentary raspberry/strawberry prosecco the last 2 times dined there. Regardless, the reason I gave this place a perfect score is because they do have great dishes. AND they have the best high-tea out of all the places I've visited around the globe. And.... I do travel. This is a must-visit and must-reserved place for high tea if you've never been here and if you love high-teas. Everything is homemade and delicious. However, if customer service is what you're looking for, Loft der Zoetheid may not be the right fit for you. P.S. I have rated some places low based on poor customer service but their dishes weren't good enough to make up for their poor service. :-)

They can also accommodate other allergies for special orders (breads, cakes, etc.). In the past I got a lemon meringue pie to bring to a party and today had a slice of lemon cake. Both were excellent - cake is moist and in my opinion gives no indication of being gluten free. Breads also have a nice texture not found in your typical packaged GF breads. There are also a couple of shelves of packaged gluten free items for sale such as pasta, flour, cookies, etc. Definitely recommend stopping by!!
