“At De Nieuwe Winkel flavour comes first. But we also cook to help make the world a better place. We believe in honest food, preferably from our own backyard – that’s why we mainly cook with plants. We pick them, smell them, taste them, analyze them, ferment them, and cook them until there is something on your plate that will truly astound and overwhelm you. Today’s choices determine what tomorrow’s world will look like. And many of these choices revolve around food.”
Dry-aged red beetroot with beetroot toffee and red wine sauce; steamed custard of Chinese mahogany wood; and broad bean tempeh satay with Japanese plum and dark beer barbecue sauce.
De Nieuwe Winkel’s menu focuses on seasonal vegetables. Dedicated to preparing rich and delicate food, Chef Emile van der Staak believes in making the world better with cuisine. He is also committed to minimizing the restaurant’s impact on the environment. De Nieuwe Winkel is run by green electricity and saves food waste by fermenting, drying, and pickling by-products. Modern and forward-thinking, this is an exciting restaurant bringing delicious cuisine to the region.
“You will feel like a child in a sweet shop in this restaurant with a hip and colourful decor – a theme continued in the cuisine. The chef gives his creativity free rein, and includes delicious options for vegetarians.”
