De Lindenhof offers a unique experience that starts with the location: a splendid farmhouse with a thatched roof that exudes character and elegance. The English garden is magnificent. Out back is the chef's little sailing boat, in which he likes to cruise the canals (sometimes taking guests with him!). There are also luxurious guestrooms for a relaxing stay. But the main draws are the enthusiastic service provided by hostess Marjan and the ingredient-led cuisine of Martin Kruithof, a traditional chef who has moved with the times. When he incorporates international influences and creative ideas, he never loses his sense of control and tends to stick to classic flavours. The quality of the produce is impressively showcased, and his dishes are presented in such a way that you can see exactly what you're eating. The sweet/salty flavour of exceptionally delicious crab, for instance, is subtly emphasised by the addition of mayonnaise and an iceberg lettuce granita for a sharper finish. A fine julienne of lettuce is mixed with a Japanese vinaigrette and dots of ponzu and grapefruit gel to add depth and exotic nuances. This is a wonderfully simple take on refined cuisine! What a pleasure it is to be spoiled by Martin Kruithof.
