Booking

Want to be sure of a spot?Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions around booking, securing a meeting room or options for groups.

Booking on weekends?
Due to the cosy crowds in the forest, we make limited reservations. And we always have more than enough seats for spontaneous walk-ins. We are therefore more of the ‘sweet spot’ and are happy to look with you on the spot for a nice table. You can check the availability of the arrangements via the ‘reserve’ button.
Evening reservations?
Our kitchen is open until 5.30pm at the latest. You can definitely take advantage of the lunch menu's choices, such as a deliciously filling meal salad or a tasty meatball.
Reservation on the terrace?
Unfortunately, we do not take reservations specifically for the terrace, as this depends on the weather. In nice weather, we try to find a spot outside, but in case of rain, you will always have your reserved table inside. Arrangements we always serve inside.
Book a meeting room?
Sure! We have inspiring rooms for meetings in the middle of nature. Contact us via the link below for options and arrangements.

Can I book another time?
Our online system shows the available time slots. Want to come with a large group or have a specific request that does not fit into the system? Use the contact form for your enquiry and we will contact you a.s.a.p. for the possibilities.
Prices for kids at packages?
Of course we think of the little ones. For children, we often apply a special rate for packages or serve an alternative children's menu.
