Inter Scaldes***

Carsten: “Inter Scaldes in Kruiningen, Zeeland. Three Michelin stars and the absolute top in the Netherlands together with De Librije by Jonnie and Thérèse Boer in Zwolle. The Manoir Restaurant of Jannis and his wife Claudia owes its name to its location in the polders of Zeeland on the narrowest part of South Beverland between the Oosterschelde and Westerschelde. Beautiful garden where you can enjoy lunch or dinner in the summer. Jannis prefers to cook with regional products, Oosterschelde lobster, oysters, mussels from Zeeland waters and suckling lamb from the country, but also vegetables such as sea lavender and samphire. You can land here with the helicopter and sleep in one of the 12 beautifully decorated rooms. Every dish from Jannis is a feast for the eyes and taste palettes. Art plays a major role in his latest book and this can also be found in the restaurant and throughout the hotel. Inter Scaldes is the absolute Champions League, not only for Dutch people, but for guests from all over the world, it is worth the trip!”
