Restaurant De Havixhorst

De Havixhorst "Le Midi"

Live Lunch like a lord.

On our lunch menu, we offer delightful lunch dishes for a slightly more extensive midday meal. So, you'll find a small selection 'à la carte' and a delicious lunch menu at a fair price. Want to go all out? You can do that too! We also offer an extensive 5-course menu based on our dinner menu for that luxurious 'lazy lunch' feeling.

Restaurant

The space alone says it all: smart tables, candlelight, a welcoming ambiance. It’s not at all difficult to feel relaxed here. Our head chef carefully selects the best local ingredients. Fruit and vegetables from small farms dotted around the ancient cultural landscape of the De Reest river. The finest meat from local game, Zuidwold mangalitza, tender Hoogveen lamb or our own Scottish Highland beef, full of flavour.

Lounge and terrace

Recharge with a cup of coffee and pastry or a playful aperitif after a refreshing walk? Our cozy lounge is the perfect spot for that. Where once was the elegant front room of the noble De Vos van Steenwijk family, now hums the espresso machine of our barista. On beautiful summer days, we gladly serve the hearty yet refined Drenthe-inspired dishes from our lunch menu on the spacious outdoor terrace in the Courtyard.

Wine Cellar

Deep beneath the arched vaults of the castle lies our treasure trove: the wine cellar. Here, the flavor catalysts of our exquisite wine list mature under ideal conditions. The long, narrow wine cellar is a 'must-see,' even if only driven by curiosity about its architecture. Tip: Instead of having the additional course of assorted cheeses at the table in the restaurant, consider enjoying it here; your hosts, Chris and Fleur Wijland, are more than happy to provide advice on matching wines!
