A few places to start
Nothing in Slatine yet.
Norg · Burgers · Vegetarian · Lunch
Peesterstraat 1, 9331 BC Norg
De Baander is a foodcafé on Peesterstraat in the centre of Norg, combining lunch, substantial plates and snacks to accompany drinks. Its menu moves between Dutch café favourites and dishes with other influences, with choices for a small appetite as well as a complete meal. The business also operates a cafetaria and provides catering for gatherings. Lunch boards bring several tastes together. The vegetarian version combines a vegetable croquette, goat cheese and the day's soup, while other boards feature meat or fish. Sandwich fillings include pulled pork, ham with honey mustard, smoked salmon and brie with honey and walnuts. For a more substantial choice, beef burgers come with salad and homemade fries. Toppings range from cheddar and pickles to truffle mayonnaise, and the kitchen offers vegetarian versions too. Beyond burgers, the plates include chicken satay, schnitzel, beef stew prepared with Maallust bock beer, and rendang with rice and atjar. Flammkuchen provides another option, while loaded nachos and a board of cheeses, cured meats, bread and snacks suit sharing over drinks. Children have their own choices, including a pancake and fries with a selection of snacks. Desserts continue the informal style with ice cream, chocolate chip cookies and churros. A coffee board pairs a hot drink with sweet treats. For an occasion away from the foodcafé, the catering service prepares lunches, buffets and bites, with arrangements discussed directly with the team.
Groede · Steak and grill · Burgers · Fish and seafood
Markt 30, 4503 AH Groede
De Drie Koningen stands on the market square of Groede, the old village near the Zeeuws-Vlaanderen coast. Groede was a Red Cross village during the Second World War, which is why its old buildings and the church square survived, and the restaurant is part of that historic centre. In summer the terrace sits out in the middle of the square; in the colder months guests move inside to a dining room the house describes as having a living room feel. The place has its own beer story. When it reopened in 2012 the landlord arrived with 300 litres of home brewed beer and named it Marckensteijn after the two operators, Marc and Stijn. Brewing started on the premises, grew into the Dutch Bargain brewery and moved to the former village school around the corner, where the Brouwerslokaal now is. Marckensteijn is still poured from the tap here as the house beer, next to Belgian classics and craft beers. The kitchen works with seasonal produce from the region. Lunch is served until five, then the dinner card takes over, both available in Dutch, German and English. Dishes include Zeeland fish soup with rouille, Flemish cheese croquettes made with aged Bruges cheese, shrimp croquettes, rump steak and rib eye, an oven gratinated fish casserole with salmon, cod, sole and scampi in a bisque sauce, a lava grilled house burger and a vegan soy burger. Gluten free bread is available, and children have their own menu. Groups and celebrations can arrange a personalised menu. Same day reservations go by phone or in person, and there is parking about 100 metres away on the Monnikenstraat.
Vlissingen

Nieuwendijk 13, 4381 BV Vlissingen
Tue–Thu 10:00–17:30; Fri 10:00–21:30; Sat, Sun 12:00–21:30; Mon Closed
De Gecroonde Liefde is on the Nieuwendijk in the old harbour quarter of Vlissingen, a few steps from the boulevard, and it has been run by the same two owners, Ronny Kers and Raymond de Jonge, since 2002. The name is old Dutch for "crowned love", taken from the house. By day it is a place for coffee and lunch - sandwiches, soups, a good steak tartare - and from Friday evening and at the weekend a restaurant with a French-international menu, fish from the Oosterschelde and meat from the region. The room is warm and unfussy, with a bar for a glass of wine, a gin and tonic or a cocktail before or instead of dinner. From Oost-Souburg it is a ten-minute drive or a bike ride along the canal.
Middelburg · Vegetarian · Vegan · Lunch
Example photo of the cuisine — not photographed at this venue Nataliya Vaitkevich / Pexels
Pottenmarkt 2, 4331 LM Middelburg
Mon 10:00–00:00; Tue 10:00–00:00; Wed 10:00–00:00; Thu 10:00–00:00; Fri 10:00–00:00; Sat 10:00–00:00; Sun 10:00–00:00
De Herberg stands on the Pottenmarkt in the middle of Middelburg and describes itself as your living room in the heart of the town — informal, open to everyone, and open from ten in the morning until midnight, seven days a week. The house line is "just like home, but with better food and drinks", which is at least honest about what it is aiming at. The single long opening covers everything in one room: a coffee with cake in the morning, a full lunch, and in the evening brasserie dishes from the barbecue. The menu deliberately sets classics beside things that are not — North Sea bouillabaisse next to Korean sticky ribs, house-made falafel and a proper set of vegan dishes rather than one token plate. There is a terrace, and a list of special beers to sit outside with, which on the Pottenmarkt means watching one of the busiest squares in Zeeland go past. Because it never closes between services, this is the practical answer to the awkward hours — a late lunch at three, or something to eat at ten at night, both of which are hard to find in a Dutch provincial town. Middelburg is the capital of Zeeland, five kilometres from Oost-Souburg — close enough to cycle, and served by a direct train that takes four minutes. You will find De Herberg at Pottenmarkt 2, 4331 LM Middelburg.
Gennes-Val-de-Loire · Fish and seafood · Vegetarian · Lunch
2 quai de la Loire, 49350 Gennes-Val-de-Loire
De Loire & d'Ailleurs is the restaurant of chef Bryan Laubin and dining room manager Amandine Dumas at Les Rosiers-sur-Loire. Their approach brings southern French influences into an Anjou setting, drawing particularly on Provence and the Landes while keeping local ingredients in view. The kitchen presents seasonal menus, with additional suggestions written on the board alongside the main selection. The published summer menu illustrates how those influences meet: an Anjou salad combines rillauds, mushrooms and Tomme de Loire, while snails come from Cornillé-les-Caves. A tomato starter uses smoked mozzarella and focaccia with Espelette pepper, basil and tarragon. Fish and seafood preparations include mackerel with tomato gazpacho and garlic croutons, and small squid with parsley and garlic beside squid ink pasta. A breaded aubergine dish, explicitly offered as vegetarian, is accompanied by grilled courgettes, ratatouille, pepper sauce and smoked mozzarella. Meat options on that menu include veal tartare with hazelnut oil and polenta fries, plus a cut of beef selected according to supply. Desserts continue the mix of regional and more individual ideas, with an Anjou pavlova, melon parfait, vanilla cream choux and a sweet potato and white chocolate fondant. There are also cheeses and ice cream preparations. These dishes show the range of the kitchen rather than a fixed promise of what will be available on every visit. Reservations are taken directly by telephone, with the couple's team handling both kitchen and dining room.
Oostkapelle · German home cooking · Vegetarian · Lunch
Example photo of the cuisine — not photographed at this venue Natalia S / Pexels
Domburgseweg 75, 4356 BK Oostkapelle
Mon 11:30–20:30; Tue 11:30–20:30; Wed 11:30–20:30; Thu 11:30–20:30; Fri 11:30–20:30; Sat 11:30–20:30; Sun 11:30–20:30
De Pannekoekenbakker in Oostkapelle is a pancake house on the Domburgseweg, on the island of Walcheren in Zeeland. The Dutch pannenkoek is a meal rather than a breakfast dish — a plate-sized pancake served either sweet or savoury — and this is a house that does nothing else, which is worth knowing before you arrive expecting a menu. The restaurant sets itself up as the stop after a day outside: a walk along the sea, a bicycle ride through the dunes, an afternoon out. That is a fair description of Walcheren, where the coast, the woods and the villages sit within a few kilometres of one another, and it is why the kitchen runs straight through the day rather than in two sittings. There is a children's club, so this is a room built for families rather than one that tolerates them, and gift vouchers and arranged packages are sold through the restaurant's own site. The house recommends booking, which on a wet Sunday in the holiday season is not a formality. It is open seven days a week, from half past eleven in the morning until half past eight in the evening — unusually long for the Dutch coast, where many kitchens close between lunch and dinner. Oostkapelle lies on the north coast of Walcheren, about twenty minutes by car from Middelburg and Oost-Souburg, and rather less by bicycle along the dunes. You will find De Pannekoekenbakker at Domburgseweg 75, 4356 BK Oostkapelle.
Nin · Burgers · Takeout · Seating outdoors
Example photo of the cuisine — not photographed at this venue Ahmad Taba / Pexels
Zadarska 1, 23232 Nin
DeSalt is a street-food restaurant and bar on Zadarska 1 in Nin. Established in 2021, the business focuses on its own burger combinations and house-made sauces. Takeaway and outdoor seating give visitors a choice between collecting a meal for their accommodation and staying for a casual lunch or dinner in town. The burger selection has several distinct directions. The Classic Beef Burger pairs Croatian beef with tomato, iceberg lettuce and the house sauce in a brioche bun. The DeSalt Gourmet version adds cabbage salad, caramelised onion and smoked bacon. Crazy Beekeeper uses cheddar and marinated cherry tomatoes, while Wild Dalmatian brings sheep's cheese and a hot chilli sauce into the combination. Chicken and fish have their own place on the menu. A grilled chicken sandwich includes smoked bacon, cheese and the DeSalt sauce, while the crunchy chicken version uses crispy fried chicken, pickles and melted cheese. A tuna-melt sandwich offers another alternative. These combinations are served with fries, making the sandwich section a full-meal option rather than simply a snack. The salad section broadens the choice further, with king prawn, tuna and grilled-chicken versions alongside a vegetable salad with chickpeas, sweetcorn and sheep's cheese. Check ingredients directly with the team if dietary requirements matter. The restaurant publishes telephone and email contacts for enquiries; confirm seasonal service and collection arrangements before travelling specifically for a meal. For an outdoor table, mention your preferred seating when contacting the restaurant.
Großenhain · Takes reservations · Groups and functions · Step-free access
Example photo of the cuisine — not photographed at this venue Pixabay / Pexels
Großraschützer Straße 1, 01558 Großenhain
Der Bergkeller is a restaurant in Großenhain's Zschieschen area, run by Stephan Seurig. Its kitchen describes its approach as modern and creative while remaining grounded in familiar cooking. Fresh seasonal ingredients take priority, with regional products used where possible. A large kitchen window lets diners see some of the preparation, adding a working-kitchen element to the dining room rather than keeping the whole process out of sight. The restaurant has about fifty seats. A dividing gate allows part of the room to be separated for a smaller gathering of up to thirty people, so it can serve both an ordinary meal and a more private occasion. For a group, ask which arrangement is available and whether the team recommends a set format for your date. Access is another useful detail: the operator states that the building is wheelchair accessible, with the entrance at the rear. Mention any access requirements when reserving so the team can explain the approach and prepare the appropriate table. The venue also runs scheduled events and occasional Sunday brunches, which require their own advance booking. Normal opening is Monday to Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 11:30 to 22:00, with Thursday and Sunday closed. Kitchen closing can depend on guest numbers. The address is 1 Großraschützer Straße; telephone or email the restaurant to reserve and ask about the current seasonal dishes before arriving late in the evening.
St. Michael im Lungau · Vegetarian · Breakfast · Takeout
Meixnergasse 30, 5582 St. Michael im Lungau
Die METZGERstub’n is the Sampl family’s restaurant in the Stammhaus on Meixnergasse, combining a village inn with a kitchen rooted in the Salzburg Lungau. Elke and Sepp run the business in its second generation, while their son Sepp prepares the food. The menu brings Austrian specialties together with international dishes: the house names Lungauer Schöpsernes, Wiener Schnitzel and a veggie burger as examples of its range. Regional sourcing is a practical part of the cooking. Veal comes from the Daslerhof in Mauterndorf, and local farmers and hunters supply meat and other ingredients according to availability. Mushrooms, Lungau potatoes, butter, cheese, yogurt and milk appear among the products the family seeks nearby. Herbs from the restaurant’s own garden finish the dishes. Seasonal specialty weeks give particular ingredients their turn on the menu. The social side is equally characteristic: the inn describes neighbors meeting at the regulars’ table, playing cards or following football together over coffee or beer. Visitors can also sit on the terrace. Vegetarian dishes are listed, vegan meals can be prepared on request, and the kitchen asks guests to discuss allergies directly. Breakfast is available to people who are not staying overnight. Most dishes can be ordered to take away, although meals with substantial sauces are less suitable. The restaurant accepts table reservations and celebrations, welcomes dogs, provides step-free access and accepts Mastercard, Visa and debit cards.
Hehlen · Cafe · Lunch · Dinner
Schloßstraße 2, 37619 Hehlen
Die Schloßwirtschaft occupies the former calf stable at Schloss Hehlen, bringing a contemporary restaurant into an agricultural building associated with the castle. The setting is part of the experience: guests can sit beside a fireplace or use the sun terrace overlooking the Weser. Inside, the approach combines the character of the older building with a modern dining room. Malte and Katrin Müffelmann run the restaurant, and chef Sophia Gilles leads the kitchen. Their stated focus is regional produce and seasonal cooking. Meat, vegetables and other ingredients come from producers in the surrounding area, with direct relationships between the restaurant and its suppliers. The menu changes regularly, giving the kitchen room to move between familiar dishes and newer interpretations as ingredients become available. The house also works as a coffeehouse, so a visit can be built around a coffee break as well as a full meal. A selected wine list accompanies the food. For travelers staying in Bodenwerder, Hehlen offers a nearby destination where the restaurant and the castle surroundings can form a single outing. Private celebrations are another part of the business, including weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and company events. The team helps organize these occasions individually. Its own culinary events include kitchen parties with live cooking, visiting wine producers and music, plus whisky dinners pairing a sequence of courses with different whiskies. Tables can be requested through the restaurant's reservation form. Groups of more than ten are asked to arrange their visit by telephone or email.
Westerland · Burgers · Fish and seafood · Vegetarian
Lornsenstraße 31, 25980 Westerland
Mon–Sun 12:00–22:00
Die Seenot stands among the dunes at Westerland’s beach section 41, with direct views of the North Sea. The setting makes the beach and water part of the meal, while its winter menu offers a broad choice of seafood, meat and vegetarian dishes. It works for a mixed party whose members want different kinds of food without giving up the coastal setting. Starters include gratinated goat cheese with tomato marmalade, tuna sashimi and a spicy fish soup with lobster cream, aioli and garlic bread. The seafood section ranges from North Sea plaice with rosemary potatoes to sea bass with herb foam and a mixed fish pan with prawns and Dijon mustard sauce. The Seenot bowl combines avocado, hummus, lentil salad, tomatoes and Parmesan. Burgers come in beef, vegetarian and barbecue chicken versions, with sweet potato fries among the accompaniments. Other substantial choices include roast duck with red cabbage and dumplings, veal liver with balsamic onions, and ox cheeks with vegetable accompaniments. A separate children’s section offers pasta, a hamburger, chicken and schnitzel in smaller meals. Desserts include red berry compote, tonka bean crème brûlée, salted caramel parfait and warm chocolate cake. The drinks selection covers coffee, tea, beer, wine and aperitifs, including alcohol free options. Table reservations are taken by telephone or in person, with email excluded for bookings. The restaurant also offers gift vouchers for visitors who want to arrange a meal as a present.

Ellerhoop · Cakes and pastries · Cafe · Ice cream
Thiensen 4, 25373 Ellerhoop
The Dielen-Café occupies the Münsterhof at the Arboretum Ellerhoop in Thiensen, bringing coffee and cake into the setting of a historic farmstead and botanical garden. It serves visitors exploring the grounds as well as people coming from outside the park. Cakes, tortes and specialty coffees form the core of the offer, accompanied by other drinks, ice cream and small savory dishes. There is a terrace beside the café, giving a coffee stop an outdoor setting within the garden complex. The surrounding arboretum combines tree collections with themed planting, a traditional cottage garden and a lake known for its lotus flowers. Its changing displays give visitors different reasons to return throughout the growing season. The café also accommodates organized visits and private gatherings. Groups can arrange light lunches or coffee and cake, while birthday parties and funeral gatherings can be catered for with a shared coffee table. Breakfast can be arranged for groups of at least twenty people. These offers are coordinated through the arboretum office, which asks organizers to make contact by email. The café is usable by wheelchair visitors, and an accessible toilet is located beside it in the Münsterhof. Free parking is available at the entrance, with bicycle stands also provided for people arriving on two wheels. Operated within the arboretum's charitable association, the café connects a straightforward refreshment stop with a much larger landscape of horticulture, tree study and garden design.

Via Giacomo Matteotti 46, 23824 Dervio
Dietro L'Angolo is a family-run trattoria and pizzeria on Via Giacomo Matteotti in Dervio. Leonardo and Barbara combine the dishes of Lombardy with a broad pizza, grill and seafood menu, making it a practical local choice for couples, families or friends with different appetites. The restaurant has an indoor dining room, terrace and bar, with the wood-fired oven forming an important part of evening service. For a regional meal, start with sciatt, the crisp buckwheat fritters filled with Casera cheese, or a board of cured meats and cheeses. Pizzoccheri come with potatoes, seasonal greens, cheese, butter and sage and are ordered for at least two people. Other first courses include saffron-and-sausage risotto, beef-ragù tagliatelle and linguine with clams. The pizza selection ranges from Margherita and Napoli to the house version with sausage, Gorgonzola and onion. Vegetarian toppings, calzoni and richer combinations with porcini or speck widen the choice. Away from pizza, there are sliced grilled beef, burgers, a breaded pork cutlet and mixed fried seafood. Homemade panna cotta, tiramisù and crema catalana offer a familiar finish. A set lunch is available from Monday to Saturday, while groups of at least four can ask about the evening Giro Pizza format. Lunch is served daily, with Tuesday evening the regular closure. Reserve by phone, especially for a group, and discuss dietary requirements directly: although alternative pizza bases are offered, the restaurant explicitly notes that preparation takes place in a shared kitchen.
Sammamish · Mediterranean · Middle Eastern · Vegetarian
4592 Klahanie Dr SE, Sammamish, 98029
Sun–Thu 11:00–21:00; Fri–Sat 11:00–22:00
Diyar is a Persian and Mediterranean restaurant in the Klahanie neighborhood in the south of Sammamish, about five kilometers from the house. The name means home and homeland, and the owners built the place around the Persian idea of mehmani, the duty to receive every guest with care. The dining room is decorated in a style drawn from Persian heritage, and the kitchen is led by chefs trained in traditional Persian cooking. Everything is prepared halal. Kabobs are the core of the menu: beef koobideh, saffron marinated chicken, barg made from thin sliced beef tenderloin, beef shish, shishlik lamb chops, Cornish hen and shrimp, served alone or as combination plates up to a family platter meant for sharing. The Persian stews are ghormeh sabzi with herbs, beans and dried lime, gheimeh bademjan with split peas and eggplant, a slow braised lamb shank with fava bean and dill rice, and zereshk polo with chicken, barberries and pistachios. Rice gets its own section, with saffron, sour cherry, carrot and lentil versions, and tahdig, the crisp rice from the bottom of the pot. Starters include kashk e bademjan, mirza ghasemi, hummus, falafel and yogurt dips, and a falafel plate and a mezze sampler suit vegetarians. For celebrations there is a VIP space for up to eight guests and a private room for up to fifty. Tables can be reserved, orders taken for pickup, and larger events are catered through a separate catering service.
Jevišovka · Steak and grill · Burgers · Seating outdoors
Jevišovka 261, 691 83 Jevišovka
Dlabanec u Závodničky is a small bistro in Jevišovka centred on burgers, fried accompaniments and occasional grill specials. Outdoor tables beneath a pergola give it an informal character, with lights and sometimes music adding to the setting. The burger selection comes in three sizes. The large version uses a savoury bun with minced meat, house dressing, lettuce, onion, bacon and melted cheddar. A medium burger comes in brioche, while the mini version is intended for children. Each can be ordered as a combination with fries and sauce, or as a burger on its own. Beyond burgers, the menu includes fried Gouda with fries, sauce and vegetable salad, plus cheddar fries topped with bacon and onion. Smaller fried snacks include onion rings, potato pancakes, crisps and fries. Specials can bring pork neck, ribs or pork belly to the menu, with the selection changing according to the day and season. Drinks include beer, mixed cocktails and homemade lemonades. The bistro also arranges private celebrations and group gatherings. Options include a burger party, a grill gathering beneath the pergola or a more traditional spread with schnitzels, fried cheese, small steaks and vegetable salads. A wood fired grill is used for selected events, with meats such as ribs, pork neck, pork belly and sausages. Food, drinks, service and decoration can be planned together with the team. The house recommends arranging an event at least three weeks in advance so there is time to prepare.
Herceg Novi · Cafe · Breakfast · Lunch

Setaliste Pet Danica 36, 85340 Herceg Novi
Mon 07:00–01:00; Tue 07:00–01:00; Wed 07:00–01:00; Thu 07:00–01:00; Fri 07:00–01:00; Sat 07:00–01:00; Sun 07:00–01:00
Do-Do Café stands on the Šetalište Pet Danica in Herceg Novi. That address is the whole point of the place, so it is worth explaining: the Šetalište Pet Danica is the seafront promenade, a paved walk that runs for several kilometres along the water at the mouth of the Bay of Kotor, with the sea on one side and the town climbing the hill on the other. Almost everything in Herceg Novi that faces the water faces it from here. The hours describe a café rather than a restaurant, and a long day: seven in the morning until one the following night, every day of the week without exception. Eighteen hours is the working pattern of a promenade café on this coast — the first coffee before work, the afternoon in the shade, and the evening walk that half the town takes when the heat goes. We hold no website for it, so nothing is written here about what it serves. The telephone is the way to ask. Herceg Novi sits at the entrance to the Boka Kotorska, about half an hour by car from Morinj along the E65 and rather less from the Croatian border. It is the sunniest town on the Montenegrin coast and the one with the most stairs: the old quarter climbs steeply from the water, so the promenade is where people actually walk, and a café on it is on the route rather than off it. You will find Do-Do Café at Šetalište Pet Danica 36, 85340 Herceg Novi.
Magdeburg · Fish and seafood · Lunch · Takes reservations
Danzstraße 13, 39104 Magdeburg
Dom-König stands on Danzstraße beside Magdeburg's cathedral district, close to the Elbe. Its identity brings together a restaurant and a substantial beer selection, with more than a dozen varieties presented by the house. The setting makes it a convenient place to combine a meal with exploring the area around the cathedral. A separate lunch menu complements the main selection, and tables can be reserved. The food moves between familiar hearty dishes and lighter starters. Tomato soup comes with crème fraîche and croutons, while the pumpkin soup combines Hokkaido pumpkin with ginger, coconut milk and chilli. Bruschetta uses toasted ciabatta, tomatoes, garlic, pesto and Grana Padano. Caramelised goat cheese is paired with a plum and orange chutney and mixed leaves. Flammkuchen offers another smaller option, with either a tomato, feta and olive topping or red onions and ham. For a substantial main course, the menu includes beef cheeks braised in dark beer sauce with mashed potatoes and root vegetables. Salmon arrives with rösti, creamed savoy cabbage and pomegranate. Roast beef Stroganoff and a mushroom version share accompaniments of hazelnut spätzle, gherkins and red onions. There are also vegetable filled Maultaschen and chicken pasta. Families have a dedicated children's section, including fish fingers, pasta and a small pork schnitzel, and can ask for a drawing box. Warm apple strudel with vanilla ice cream rounds out the meal. Together, the menu and beer selection give the restaurant an approachable focus for an unhurried stop in central Magdeburg.

Enno-Hektor-Straße 18, 26553 Dornum
Dornumer Teestube offers an East Frisian tea-and-cake stop in a carefully restored, listed building dating from 1808. Sabine Freese and her team welcome guests at Enno-Hektor-Straße 18, close to Dornum's water castle. The café has around 50 seats, with a separate room for groups of up to 30, making it suitable both for a quiet afternoon pause and a gathering arranged in advance. Tea is served in the local style: an East Frisian blend in a pot on a warmer, accompanied by rock sugar and cream. The drinks menu also includes loose alternatives, coffee specialities and hot chocolate; oat milk is available for coffee and cocoa drinks. This gives visitors a chance to try the regional tea ritual without limiting companions to the same choice. The cake counter changes daily. The pastry selection includes fruit and cream cakes, sea-buckthorn cake, chocolate varieties and the café's Dornumer cherry and apple cakes. Freshly prepared cream puffs come with fillings such as cherries, seasonal berries or brandy-soaked raisins, while apple strudel can be accompanied by cream, ice cream or vanilla sauce. Ask about the day's vegan or gluten-free possibilities rather than assuming every cake is suitable. Whole or half cakes can be ordered to take away, normally with at least three days' notice. The café closes at 18:00 daily. Its published opening times differ between pages, so telephone before a late-morning visit or when arranging a group table.

Mon–Sun 12:00–15:00, 18:00–23:00
Dragoeiro is in Caloura, at the Quinta do Mirante above the coast of Água de Pau, and it cooks two things side by side: sushi and the food of the Azores. Next to sushi and hot sushi there are fusion plates, starters and salads, meat, seafood, pasta and risotto, açaí and desserts, with a wine list to match. The kitchen works to one rule - "waste has no reserved seat" - and tries to use every ingredient and every protein in full. It is open every day for lunch and dinner, and tables can be booked by phone or through TheFork.
Kirchseelte · German home cooking · Fish and seafood · Cakes and pastries
Dorfstraße 23, 27243 Kirchseelte
The Dreimädelhaus is a lovingly restored country inn under a thatched roof in Kirchseelte, a village in the Wildeshauser Geest nature park just south of Stuhr. The land has been in the same family since 1600 and the main building dates from 1767, when Ahrend Ahrents built it; he brewed beer, distilled grain spirit and served as royal forester and customs officer, because the nearby Klosterbach once marked a border. The name, the House of Three Maidens, arrived in the 1920s with owner Heinrich Ahrents and his three daughters, at a time when the new railway brought weekend visitors out from Bremen. Today the house is restaurant, hotel and event venue in one. The kitchen combines traditional seasonal dishes with modern cooking and relies on producers from the area. The menu names its sources: Knipp from Hof Lehmkuhl, beef from the Wesermarsch, veal from Kirchseelte, game from local hunting. Expect a Kirchseelte wedding soup, venison ragout with forest mushrooms, Schnitzel Wiener Art made from local game, Pannfisch with Dijon mustard sauce, and vegetarian plates such as grilled aubergine with ratatouille or a stuffed pepper with vegetable couscous. Children get their own small menu and an activity bag to pass the waiting time. Breakfast is served as a buffet every morning to outside guests as well, with a longer Sunday breakfast, and at weekends there is coffee and cake in the afternoon. Outside there is a terrace looking over the garden, a natural pond and a playground, and the historic thatched hall takes celebrations of up to one hundred guests, including weddings in the garden.
Orlando · Cafe · Vegetarian · Vegan

444 North Bumby Avenue, Orlando, FL 32803
Mon–Fri 07:00–20:00; Sat–Sun 08:00–20:00
Drunken Monkey is a neighbourhood coffee house in the Milk District of Orlando, Florida, a short drive east of downtown. The shop describes itself as Orlando's local coffee shop, and the building is hard to miss: a small purple house on North Bumby Avenue that has become one of the district's landmarks. The coffee is roasted in house. Alongside it the kitchen bakes its own goods and cooks a menu that deliberately covers vegan, vegetarian and meat dishes rather than treating the first two as an afterthought, which is unusual enough in central Florida to be worth saying. Local artists hang work on the walls, and the art changes. Opening hours are long and simple: Monday to Friday from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm, Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm. That covers breakfast, a working morning, lunch and an early dinner, and there is seating outdoors. The Milk District takes its name from the dairy at its centre and sits between downtown Orlando and the Audubon Park area. It is a walkable pocket of small independent businesses rather than a strip of chains, which makes it a reasonable base for a morning if you are staying in the east of the city. Orders can be placed ahead through the shop's own site if you would rather collect than wait, and the telephone is answered during opening hours. You will find Drunken Monkey at 444 North Bumby Avenue, Orlando, FL 32803.

El Bar de Marko stands on Calle Risco Blanco in Costa Calma, and by review count it is the best-known place to eat in the town. It keeps no website, so nothing here describes the kitchen — we can point at no source for it, and a guess would be worse than silence. What can be said is the shape of its week, and it is a simple one: half past twelve to ten at night, every day, with no closing day and no break between lunch and dinner. On a resort coast where a good many kitchens shut for the afternoon and take a day off in the week, a house that never does either is the reliable option — the answer when it is four in the afternoon, or when it is Monday. Calle Risco Blanco is named after the white cliff, which is what risco blanco means, and it runs back from the beach road into the town rather than along the front. Costa Calma lies at the neck of the Jandía peninsula in southern Fuerteventura, about an hour from the airport at Puerto del Rosario and twenty minutes from Morro Jable. The telephone is the way to ask what is on and to book. You will find El Bar de Marko on Calle Risco Blanco, 35627 Costa Calma.

Carretera Nacional 340, km 78, 11380 Tarifa
El Chozo puts the sea at the centre of a meal on Tarifa's coast. Part of Camping Torre de la Peña, the restaurant looks towards Tarifa and the Strait of Gibraltar from its position beside the ocean. Its story began in 1963 with a simple hut made from wood and straw, giving today's restaurant a connection with the early years of this coastal campsite. The menu offers several ways into the local seafood. Grilled tuna, tuna tartare and caramelised tuna belly sit alongside sea bass with dill oil and whole squid, offered grilled or fried. Daily wild-fish choices depend on the catch. Among the starters are mussels prepared in different styles, a prawn salad with Oloroso sherry and local tomatoes with tuna belly and Jerez vinegar. There is also a substantial choice beyond fish. Rice dishes include a garden-vegetable version, black rice with squid and cuttlefish, and an Ibérico preparation. Meat choices include aged beef, a lamb timbale with mushrooms and Pedro Ximénez, and a burger. For a sweet finish, the published selection includes rice pudding, cheesecake and brioche torrija scented with orange blossom. El Chozo can therefore work for a longer lunch after time by the sea or for dinner with a broad choice of dishes. Service times change between the main summer period, holiday weeks and the rest of the year, so check the restaurant's current timetable when booking. Use the direct restaurant number to arrange a table at this particular coastal location.

Mon–Sun 11:00–01:30
El Chuletón is a grill on Avenida Sargentos Provisionales in Playa del Inglés, and its name says what matters most: a chuletón is a thick, bone-in rib steak cut for the grill. Meat comes first on the menu, with fish, pizza and pasta for anyone at the table who wants something else. The kitchen stays open for a long day - from late morning until well after midnight - which makes it an easy choice after an afternoon on the beach or before a night out in Playa del Inglés.

Punta Paloma, s/n, 11380 Tarifa
El Mirlo sits beyond the dunes of Punta Paloma, where Tarifa's coast becomes a setting for a meal close to the beach. The restaurant belongs to the Marbella Club dining family, whose presentation places chef Juan Gómez behind its cooking. The appeal begins with the coastal location, then continues through a menu rooted in fish, shellfish and the products of southern Spain. A meal can start with gazpacho, potato salad with tuna belly, grilled octopus or prawns in pil-pil sauce. Fried squid, baby squid and anchovies offer another approach to the sea. Mussels with white wine, clams in marinera sauce and grilled shellfish broaden the choice, while whole fish such as sea bass, sole and turbot are listed according to weight. Almadraba bluefin tuna receives particular attention. The menu includes tiradito with truffle and ponzu, tartare with ajoblanco, tataki with salmorejo and almonds, tuna meatballs in tomato sauce and grilled tuna steak. Rice dishes are prepared for at least two people, with seafood paella and versions built around lobster, carabineros or Ibérico pork. There are also Retinto beef, lamb chops and roast cauliflower with romesco. The breakfast selection gives an earlier reason to visit, with toast accompanied by tomato, Payoyo cheese, ham or avocado. For lunch or dinner, reserve directly and ask about the current fish, rice preparations and service times. A table here is particularly suited to visitors who want a coastal excursion to include a substantial Andalusian meal rather than only a quick beach snack.
Mijas · Spanish · Mediterranean · Steak and grill
C. Butiplaya, 5, 29649 Mijas
Tue–Thu 18:30–23:15; Fri–Sun 13:00–15:30, 18:30–23:15; Mon Closed
El Olivo de La Cala is a Mediterranean restaurant on Calle Butiplaya in La Cala de Mijas, the beach village on the coast south of the home, and it has been part of the village for more than fifteen years. The house puts a lot of weight on its rooms. There is an open air terrace under the Mediterranean sky, made for warm evenings and the sunset, and inside there are dining rooms gathered around a central fireplace, which makes it a place that works in winter as well as in summer. A wine cellar holds over a hundred Spanish references from the main regions, chosen by the house sommelier and renewed with the seasons. The kitchen describes its cooking as the authentic flavours of the region: seafood, Iberian meats, seasonal vegetables and desserts made in house, with fish and shellfish chosen from the market each day. The cold starters give a good idea of the style: a serrana salad, a rocket salad, a foie gras salad, avocado with prawns, a classic prawn cocktail, smoked salmon, melon with Iberian ham, and portions of Iberian ham and cured cheese to share. Further sections cover warm starters, fish, meat, grilled meats and a cheese board, with seafood paella and steaks among the dishes the house highlights. Anyone with an allergy is asked to say so when booking, and the kitchen adapts where it can. Groups from six people are welcome for birthdays, christenings, anniversaries and company dinners, with long tables inside or on the terrace and a menu proposed to suit the occasion. Tables can be booked online. Pets are not allowed, apart from assistance dogs.
