Bij Jef

L'avis du Guide Michelin

As soon as you step into Bij Jef, you are struck by a sense of peace and space. The minimalist interior has been specially conceived as a relaxed setting in which to enjoy Texel's wealth of ingredients – the local suckling lamb is world famous and, needless to say, a firm fixture here. But Jef Schuur draws much more from his surroundings: saline herbs, crustaceans and shellfish… the list goes on. He puts his terroir first – a visit to the 1.5ha vegetable gardens next to the restaurant is a must – with contemporary influences elegantly woven into his cooking. His creativity often comes with invigorating sweet-and-sour nuances. This is a chef who likes to surprise. Sauces are key: think of an intense jus made from lamb bones, the perfect match for pink-roasted saddle of lamb from a local butcher, crisp spring vegetables and sweet-and-sour charred onion. The fresh flavours of Texel are paired with carefully chosen wine gems selected by the charming host Nadine, such as a delicate Madeira Rainwater Reserva that enhances every element of a refined blood orange dessert. A real treat! The pastry trolley that comes round with the coffee is also irresistible. And for a relaxing end to this wonderful experience, be sure to book one of the designer guestrooms.
