Restaurant

The menu

There is a limited selection of dishes on the menu, some of which change every two months. As much as possible, we use organically grown produce and ingredients that are produced sustainably. We prefer local products, but we are not afraid to use good ingredients from elsewhere in Europe, too!

N.B.!

Daily specials are announced on blackboards above the kitchen. They are made in small quantities because the ingredients have limited availability and often change from day to day. Gooseberry ice cream, rillettes of wild boar with stewed prunes or fresh marrowfat pea soup – it all depends on what our chef has managed to acquire.

The wood-fired oven

Every morning, we light the wood-fired oven – the chef’s pride and joy. All kinds of food are roasted or baked in the ash-wood fuelled oven, including fish, pigeon, tomatoes, beetroot, etc., etc. A fixed feature is our seasonal pizza.

The wine menu

Villa Augustus has a modest choice of carefully selected wines. Most of the wines come from growers who cultivate their grapes in a healthy way, often organically.

The terrace

From the spring sometimes until deep into October, you can enjoy a drink and a meal on the terrace in the garden. Surrounded by lemon trees and looking out over the vegetable garden, where our gardeners are hoeing, sowing, planting and harvesting.

And in the evening, you can walk through the garden to see the sun setting over the Wantij river…

Reservations

You can book a table in the restaurant. But we keep a number of tables free for people who just drop by.

Larger groups

For groups larger than 16 people – and of course for smaller ones – there is the Moestuinzaal and the Wantijzaal. And in the summer, you can also book the Limonaia, the lemon-tree hothouse. The Limonaia is available from mid-April to mid-November, while the lemon trees are outside. Click here for more information on our function rooms.
