Our verdict

Based in the heart of the village, this restaurant exudes a warmth that extends beyond its Scandinavian-influenced décor. Head chef Bert van de Steeg, originally from the Netherlands, coaxes the from local, seasonal foods using skills he gained in Michelin-star establishments. Brunch, lunch, bites or dinner. It’s worth ordering a cut of Angus beef, always done right.

Pearl is the En Primeur Club membership app — saves, bookings, and concierge access live there. Same editors, same standards.
