Het Gulden Vlies
Since they took over Het Gulden Vlies in 1994, chef Bram van Duin and his wife Yolanda have turned the decades-old restaurant into a tremendously popular hit in Alkmaar. Their son Jeroen has meanwhile assumed responsibility for the establishment’s management, making it a family restaurant in the truest sense of the word.

Het Stokpaardje
Guests of Het Stokpaardje are always greatly impressed by the gastronomic delights served by Eric Muller and Ton van den Bogaard. An unusual feature of this restaurant is that it doesn’t use a menu. Chef Ton van den Bogaard serves his guests nothing but the very best products he has bought fresh that day. Whatever you’ll find on your plate, it will always be a tasty surprise.
