Restaurants, cafés and bakeries in Bijilo

Bistro In den Koning sits on the Molenstraat in Waterlandkerkje, a small village in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen a short drive inland from the coast. Angie and Juriën run it, and they describe their spot as the best of two worlds: Dutch soil, with a Flemish feel never far away. The menu follows what is good at the moment, built on classics, with regular excursions into French and Flemish cooking, and the kitchen names its suppliers. At lunch there is a burger of Zeeuws-Vlaams blue and white beef on a brioche bun from the Broodheeren bakery, a filled fish soup in the Breton style, Marie's shrimp croquettes on sourdough, artisan meat croquettes from Janssen, a smoked beef sandwich with truffle cream and aged Zeeland cheese, and croque monsieur or madame. Between noon and five there are fresh pancakes, one with organic apples, and Grandpa's apple pie. In the evening the starters include beetroot carpaccio with goat cheese, and the mains run from brined cod with leek purée and a shrimp jus to wild turbot with tarragon butter, barbecued lamb chops, a bistro steak of Belgian blue and white beef from the local polders, and pork cheeks, which the house calls the classic of the bistro. A vegan dish of balls with fregola and tomato is on the card too. Children under twelve get fries with a snack or a smaller portion of a main. The kitchen adapts dishes for allergies where it can and will pack up what is left. A two course high tea is served by reservation for two or more, starting between noon and two. Tables are booked online through the website.

Dorpsplein 1, 4507 BH Schoondijke

Mon 11:00–20:00; Tue–Wed Closed; Thu 11:00–20:00; Fri–Sat 11:00–20:30; Sun 10:00–20:30

Boone is the eat and drink house on the Dorpsplein, the village square at the heart of Schoondijke. It opens five days a week from late morning into the evening, with an earlier start on Sundays, and closes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The menu, published on the website, is split into a tearoom part, a lunch card served until five in the afternoon, and a dinner card. In the tearoom there is Zeeland apple pie, with ice cream and whipped cream if you like, and pancakes with butter and sugar. Lunch brings sandwiches with carpaccio, smoked salmon or warm ham, toasties including one with goat cheese, apple, walnuts and honey, and an uitsmijter, the Dutch open sandwich with three fried eggs, ham and cheese. Starters include a yellow curry soup with coconut milk, cheese croquettes with Parmesan and honey mustard, shrimp croquettes with cocktail sauce, and scampi in what the house calls its well known garlic cream sauce with samphire. Among the mains are a Hereford steak with warm vegetables, a hamburger with cheddar and bacon, spare ribs with aioli, sea bass fillet with homemade tartare sauce, fish and chips, a chicken thigh skewer with satay sauce and prawn crackers, and a vegetarian curry with cashews and naan bread. Children up to twelve have their own section, with fries and a croquette, frikandel or chicken nuggets, or a small portion of ribs. Desserts run to ice cream coupes, a dame blanche, warm cherries and chocolate mousse, and the coffee list ends with Irish, Spanish and Zeeland coffee. Tables can be reserved by phone or by email.

De Drie Koningen

Groede · Steak and grill · Burgers · Fish and seafood

Markt 30, 4503 AH Groede

+31117371511

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.

DAS LOKAL

Hornbach · Steak and grill · Burgers · Fish and seafood

Bahnhofstraße 4, 66500 Hornbach

+49 6338 99432820

DAS LOKAL occupies the former Capito address on Bahnhofstraße in Hornbach, beside the Pirminiushalle. Its indoor restaurant and Paradiesgarten give it two distinct settings: a room for a meal with friends and a garden beneath old trees for relaxed gatherings. The neighboring Paradiesgartenweg begins next to the beer garden, with a playground and other leisure facilities close by. The food combines substantial classics with salads, pasta and smaller plates. Starters include tomato cream soup, beef carpaccio, gratinated sheep’s cheese and falafel with hummus. Salads come with homemade dressing and toppings ranging from roast beef to prawns or falafel. Broad ribbon noodles are prepared with olive oil, garlic, olives and peppers, or with basil pesto and market vegetables. The steak selection includes roast beef, Iberico pork, beef fillet and turkey. For groups of four steak diners or more, side dishes arrive as a shared table buffet. Other choices include an Iberico schnitzel and the Hornburger, served on brioche with Emmental, braised onions, cabbage and barbecue sauce. Children have a separate selection of schnitzel, pasta, nuggets and fries. Chocolate cake, sorbet and puff pastry provide dessert options. Food also anchors the events program, which includes steak specials, a changing three course dinner, grilling evenings and live music. Private celebrations can use the restaurant, additional rooms upstairs or the neighboring hall, while catering brings the kitchen to events elsewhere. Reservations and celebration enquiries are handled directly by Christian and the team.

Klosterschänke & Biergarten

Hornbach · German home cooking · Cakes and pastries · Lunch

Im Klosterbezirk 1, 66500 Hornbach

+49 6338 910100

Klosterschänke & Biergarten is the informal Palatinate tavern within Kloster Hornbach, a former Benedictine monastery now used as a hotel. The restaurant stands in the Klosterbezirk in Hornbach, with an indoor tavern room and a beer garden enclosed by old monastery walls. Its cooking centers on homemade classics and regional specialties, accompanied by monastery beer and wines from the Palatinate. The setting brings together hotel visitors, local neighbors and walkers, with outdoor tables in the warmer season and the tavern room providing an indoor setting in colder weather. The monastery complex has been run as a hotel by the Lösch family since 2000. Christiane and Edelbert Lösch now lead it together with their daughter Franziska. The former monastery retains its cloister and historic stonework, giving a meal here a setting closely connected with the town's past. The family's approach places shared meals and conversation at the center of the stay. The beer garden also serves Flammkuchen, the thin Alsatian style flatbread, while the tavern's offer includes a hearty Klosterbrett platter. This is the more relaxed dining option within a complex that also contains Refugium and the Säulenzimmer, each with its own character. Guests can request a table through the hotel's reservation service or contact the house by telephone. For arrival, the hotel's directions specify Im Klosterbezirk 1; guest parking areas are marked on its site plan.

Restaurant Bistro Gleis 3

Zweibrücken · Steak and grill · Fish and seafood · Takeout

Poststraße 33, 66482 Zweibrücken

+49 6332 73641

Gleis 3 stands close to Zweibrücken railway station on Poststraße, in a listed building dating from 1932. Its Italian inspired exterior, historic facade and arcade give the restaurant a character quite different from an ordinary station stop. Inside, a central bar divides the space into restaurant and bistro areas, allowing the two sides of the business to share one room. Jeannette and Christian Landoll are the owners. The cooking brings together salads, pasta, schnitzel and beef steaks, with changing creations alongside the main selection. A Niçoise salad combines tuna, olives, onion rings and boiled egg; other salads add turkey, sliced rump steak or prawn skewers cooked in herb butter. Dressings include the house recipe, oil and vinegar, and a balsamic option. Pasta ranges from spaghetti with homemade Bolognese to a spicy house preparation with cream, sambal, pesto and garlic. Tube pasta comes with homemade basil and nut pesto, roasted garlic and cheese. Pork schnitzels use the kitchen’s own toasted bread coating. They can be ordered simply with fries and salad, with mushroom cream, or topped with mushrooms, Camembert and Edam. Rump steak is paired with cognac and pepper cream sauce, while several flavored butters offer an alternative accompaniment. The wine selection reaches from the Palatinate through Italy, France and Spain to South Africa. Tables are reserved exclusively by telephone, and the same number handles orders for the restaurant’s collection service.

+31118441194

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.

Ristorante Classico

Contwig · Italian · Pizza · Vegetarian

Hauptstraße 98, 66497 Contwig

+49 6332 569700

Wed–Fri, Sun 11:30–14:30; Wed–Sun 18:00–22:30; Mon–Tue Closed

Ristorante Classico brings Italian cooking to a former German inn on Hauptstraße in Contwig. The building has been restored with an Italian character, and the restaurant has been serving guests since 2000. Its approach combines traditional dishes with newer ideas, using fresh ingredients and an uncomplicated style of presentation. The setting is intended for a proper sit down meal, with equal attention given to guests arriving as a couple or with children. Families are explicitly welcomed, and a high chair is available for smaller diners. Children can have a small helping of pasta or share a pizza with their parents or siblings. Pizza is also available to take away, so a meal from the kitchen can become part of an evening at home. The food selection includes pasta, meat, fish and seafood, alongside vegetarian choices. Among the dishes presented are buffalo mozzarella with tomatoes, tagliatelle, steak with polenta, and octopus. Desserts include panna cotta and sorbet. Wine is another substantial part of the restaurant’s identity. The selection travels through Italy from the north to the south and across to Sardinia and Sicily. Barolo and Barbaresco represent the reds, while Pinot Grigio is among the white wines; Champagne and Prosecco provide sparkling alternatives. The restaurant offers a separate weekday lunch menu as well as its main selection. Guests arriving by car can park in front without charge. Table reservations are accepted exclusively by telephone.

Kleine Markt 1, 4381 EJ Vlissingen

+31118578163

Tue–Sat 9:00–17:30; Sun, Mon Closed

BLOOM is a coffee bar on the Kleine Markt in the centre of Vlissingen, the kind of place the town did not have for a long time: specialty coffee made with care, matcha and chai, and a lunch card of homemade bagels, wraps and the classics, with smoothies and cakes alongside. Ingredients are fresh and, where it makes sense, from Zeeland. It opens at nine, which makes it a good first stop before a day on the boulevard or the beach at Vlissingen, and it stays a calm room for a coffee break in the afternoon. Closed on Sunday and Monday.

Gasthaus Bärmann

Contwig · Steak and grill · Fish and seafood · Vegetarian

Hauptstraße 132, 66497 Contwig

+49 6332 5752

Gasthaus Bärmann is a fourth generation hotel and restaurant on Hauptstraße in Contwig, where a history of innkeeping and butchery still informs the food. The house favors personal hospitality, regional ingredients and seasonal cooking, with Palatinate wine and beer alongside substantial meals. Its current autumn selection includes chanterelle soup, lamb’s lettuce, braised fallow deer with porcini gravy and bread dumplings, and venison fillet with tagliatelle and kale. Chocolate mousse and apple strudel with cream provide a sweet finish. The broader menu includes homemade potato soup and clear beef broth with marrow dumplings and Maultaschen. Schnitzel comes in several preparations, including a breaded pork version with lemon and fries, a mushroom cream variation, and turkey cordon bleu filled with ham and cheese. Rump steak can be served with herb butter and fried onions or pepper cream sauce. Fish and seafood choices include poached salmon with Riesling cream and prawn skewers on buttered noodles. Meat free alternatives include spinach dumplings with sage butter and a vegetable noodle pan with mushrooms, peppers and herbs. Themed food events are part of the house’s routine, from steak and herring meals to its traditional Schlachtfest. The autumn program also includes local game and roast suckling pig. Family celebrations are another specialty: weddings, birthdays, communions and confirmations can be arranged for up to fifty people, with an individual menu or buffet. The team also helps plan catered celebrations away from the restaurant.

Premiata Pizzeria

Putignano · Pizza · Takes reservations · Gluten-free options

Via San Lorenzo 1, 70017 Putignano

+390804058523

Tue–Sun 19:30–00:00; Mon Closed

Premiata Pizzeria is run by Valerio and Luigi Loliva on Via San Lorenzo in Putignano. Valerio oversees the dining room, while Luigi directs the kitchen and selects ingredients. Pizza is the central theme, with an emphasis on combinations that connect Italian tradition with products from Puglia. The kitchen identifies local dairy produce, including mozzarella and provolone made with milk from Puglian farms, alongside Capocollo di Martina Franca, Rosso Gargano tomatoes and extra virgin olive oil from local cultivars. Its oven combines a traditional domed form with a rotating hearth and gas heating. Gluten-free pizzas and other gluten-free preparations are made on the premises, and suitable items are identified on the menu. Beyond the regular dining experience, the pizzeria offers Sulle Botti in Dispensa, a small private meal centered on a table fashioned from an old barrel. Set among the working pantry’s flour and preserves, it accommodates up to six people. The chef creates a seasonal sequence that includes starters, pizza, a pasta course and an artisan dessert. This experience requires advance arrangement and has a different booking process from an ordinary table. The wider offer also includes a pizza-making experience with Gigi, covering dough preparation, shaping and baking. Regular table requests can be submitted online and are confirmed by message or telephone. For guests interested in both eating pizza and understanding the ingredients and work behind it, Premiata offers several ways to approach the same kitchen.

Botteghe Antiche

Putignano · Lunch · Dinner · Seating indoors

Piazza Plebiscito 8, 70017 Putignano

+390804911813

Botteghe Antiche faces Piazza Plebiscito in the historic center of Putignano, beneath the palace that houses the Museo Principe Guglielmo Romanazzi Carducci di Santo Mauro. Its name recalls the artisan workshops that once animated this part of town. The restaurant brings that connection with the past into a setting where contemporary design accompanies the older building. Inside there is space for up to forty diners. In the warmer season, tables extend onto the square, with aromatic herbs around the outdoor area and the church bell tower forming part of the surroundings. Chef Stefano D’Onghia builds his cooking around memories of regional food, reinterpreting familiar preparations through presentation and technique. Ingredients follow the seasons, with an emphasis on small producers and a sustainable supply chain. The result is a changing menu rather than a fixed collection of dishes intended to remain identical throughout the year. A basket of bread and focaccia made in the kitchen welcomes guests at the table, giving the meal a direct connection to the restaurant’s own daily preparation. Wine is another substantial part of the offer: the cellar lists eight hundred labels, encompassing conventional and natural wines. The restaurant’s character comes from the combination of its position on the square, its interest in local culinary memory and the chef’s willingness to reshape that inheritance. Tables can be requested through the online booking service or by telephone. It is a useful choice for visitors who want their meal to remain closely connected to Putignano’s historic center.

Angelo Sabatelli

Putignano · Fish and seafood · Takes reservations

Via Santa Chiara 1, 70017 Putignano

+390804052733

Angelo Sabatelli is on Via Santa Chiara, at the corner of Via Fornello in Putignano. The restaurant offers tasting menus alongside an à la carte selection, with two different approaches to the chef’s cooking. The Classics brings together established dishes in a selection that changes with the seasons. Extra-territorial Emotions connects his professional experience in Italy and Asia with local produce. Those two directions give a useful starting point when choosing how to experience the kitchen. Regional ingredients appear in combinations such as seafood cavatelli with chicory and broad bean puree, or orecchiette with ragù and canestrato fondue. Elsewhere, basil soba, onion and foie gras gyoza, and lobster tempura introduce different techniques and seasonings. The repertoire extends from fish and shellfish to lamb, pigeon and suckling pig. Desserts continue the interplay of familiar and unexpected ingredients, including ricotta with wheat and orange blossom, and chocolate with candied lampascioni and artichoke liqueur. Tasting menus are served to the whole table, while the à la carte format requires a minimum of three courses per person. Reservations can be made through the restaurant’s booking system or discussed directly by telephone. For arrival, the team recommends looking for parking on Via Margherita di Savoia, then approaching on foot along Via Fornello and turning into Via Santa Chiara. This makes the final approach part of a walk through Putignano rather than a drive directly to the door.

CLOUD

Castellana Grotte · Italian · Vegetarian · Vegan

Via Putignano 92, 70013 Castellana Grotte

+393383598755

Mon–Tue Closed; Wed 21:00–01:00; Thu Closed; Fri–Sat 19:30–03:00; Sun 19:00–01:00

CLOUD is a restaurant on Via Putignano in Castellana Grotte, combining Italian and international cooking with live music evenings. The kitchen includes regional recipes, fish and cheese, with vegetarian, vegan and lactose free choices also available. Wine and fruit cocktails form part of the drinks selection. Baked goods can be enjoyed as dessert, and a buffet is another part of the food offering. For visitors choosing somewhere to spend an evening together, that combination gives several different reasons to consider the same address. Outdoor tables and a heated terrace provide places to sit outside, while air conditioning serves the interior. The setting therefore offers a choice between an open air meal and time indoors. Live music adds another element to the restaurant's social character. A meal here can be planned around conversation, food and entertainment, depending on what matters most to your group. Check the program directly when music is part of your plans. Private events can be arranged with the venue. Free parking is available for guests, and the restaurant states that access is free of architectural barriers. There is complimentary Wi-Fi and a separate smoking area. Payment options include credit and debit cards, contactless payments, bank transfers, PayPal, checks and cash. Guests arranging a celebration can contact CLOUD to discuss their plans, while anyone with specific dietary requirements can ask about suitable dishes before deciding what to order.

HoneyPie is a lunchroom on Achter de Houttuinen in Middelburg, and it wears its subject openly: the house motto is that a balanced diet is a piece of cake in each hand. Cake is the point here, and lunch is served around it rather than the other way round. Beyond the daytime menu the kitchen does three things worth knowing about in advance. There is a high tea, which is booked rather than walked into. There is a picnic, packed to be taken away — a sensible idea in a province where the coast and the dunes are twenty minutes from the front door. And there is cake to go, sold whole or by the slice, which is the reason to stop here on the way to somewhere else. It opens from nine in the morning until five in the afternoon, Tuesday to Sunday. Monday it is closed. Those are daytime hours in the strict sense: this is not a dinner restaurant, and arriving at seven in the evening will find it shut. Achter de Houttuinen runs along one of the old canals in the centre of Middelburg, a few minutes on foot from the abbey and the market square. Oost-Souburg is five kilometres away, an easy ride by bicycle along the canal. You will find HoneyPie at Achter de Houttuinen 50, 4331 NJ Middelburg.

Mon–Fri, Sun 12:00–14:30, 19:30–01:00; Sat 12:00–14:30, 19:30–02:00

Il Covo is an Italian restaurant on Via Conversano in Castellana Grotte, with a broad food offer that includes pizza, burgers and local recipes. It also presents a buffet, giving diners another way to explore the kitchen alongside individually chosen dishes. The combination makes it a practical possibility for a party whose members want different kinds of food at the same table. For visitors planning a meal together, deciding between a pizza, a burger and regional cooking can be part of the pleasure; there is no need for everyone to begin with the same preference. The restaurant describes gluten-free and lactose-free preparations, so guests with dietary requirements have a reason to discuss their choices directly with the staff. Air-conditioned rooms provide an indoor setting, and a children’s corner gives younger guests a dedicated area. Step-free access, parking with attendant service and complimentary Wi-Fi are among the facilities offered. Payment options include cash, contactless payment, Mastercard, Visa and PayPal. Beyond meals at the restaurant, Il Covo provides home delivery and can supply catering. Private events can also be arranged with the team, making the venue relevant to family occasions and other gatherings as well as an ordinary meal out. Calling ahead is a useful way to bring a group’s needs together, especially when a celebration, a particular dietary requirement or catering is involved. The restaurant can be contacted by telephone or through its message form.
