In the hart of the Netherlands you will find the very special restaurant Groenland. Apart from…read morecooking with biological products, they combine environmental awareness and sustainability in their entrepreneurship. Even with the construction and the interior design of the restaurant they took these things in account. This and the fact that the food is very pure, makes a trip to the Driebergen more then worthwhile. They also sell the mouthwatering pure chocolate in their little store.

Groenland has an original kitchen, the quality is consistently awesome, and the owner, Niels, is…read moreconstantly trying to improve his place and an awesome host. Which is special as Dutch restaurants often lack an owner who is truly working to make things great. In the summer they have outside seating in a romantic garden. In the winter there's a fireplace inside. Driebergen doesn't have much to offer for foodies but Groenland makes up for it, and is worth the trip.

Stopped by on a lark during a bike ride. Wonderfully warm ambience, a 1-Michelin star restaurant…read morewith the food & service to justify it. It's a chilly early spring day and their Lobster Bisque was perfect. The butter is perfect too. Every detail covered. I'll be back for their 37€ prix dice dinner.

This was a phenomenal dinner and truthfully exceeding expectations I had before coming. We visited…read moreabout 1 year ago and I wanted to do something special for my Oma (who has always supported me) so I selected a nice tasting menu close to her home of Baarn. Little did I know this was the restaurant where my Opa proposed to her - what a beautiful surprise!!! The location is remote, peaceful and the grounds of the restaurant are beautiful (including a garden where they grow some of their own produce). The service was attentive, friendly and respectful. We went for the largest tasting menu with wine pairings - the pairings were also very well received (my oma mentioning she did not like red wine much, but after her first taste said "this is pretty good I think I could like this"). The food was truly gorgeous, thoughtful and technique driven without being overbearing. The ingredients were fresh and I still recall (a year later) the langoustine, foie and green apple dish that was the stand out of the night -- that's my kind of surf n' turf. It is experiences like this that remind me why the Michelin guide might be so stingy in cities like Chicago - because the food here was truly on a different level and wildly deserving of a star. DELICIOUS!!!!

Great place to experience! Local culture, local food, and caters to a wide selection of diets…read more There was a wide selection of veggie dishes, meat, fish, and desserts. The portions are huge so I would go with the SamSam approach which cuts your portion in half for just over half the price. Everything is in Dutch so bring your dictionary. If your lucky you might get one of two wait staff who speak English, but it is fun to see what you wind up with. The roasted peppers with tutti fruity appetizer was an unusual collection of flavors but went very well together. Prices are a bit on the high side of moderate but the portions are enough to share and the combinations are worth experiencing.

Summary: Great place…read moreto visit, very friendly staff and above all great food! As I think there is always room for improvement I give this place 4 stars instead of 5 ;-) Nicely situated in the center of Doorn in an old bank (hence the name "De Kluis" which means "safe" in Dutch. The old big safe doors are still visible and give a nice touch to the interior) this restaurant uses the "sam-sam" concept which means you can split two starters, main dishes and deserts in one menu. This gives customers the opportunity to taste a wide variety of food from the menu. "De Kluis" has a wide variety of meat, fish and vegetarian dishes on their menu so a lot to pick from. We (party of two) had smoked chicken with tomato and pesto and mushtoom salad with cheese as starter and a meat plate for main dish. The chicken was very tasteful with a nice smokey flavour which blended very well with the sundried tomato and pesto. The mushroom and cheese was also a great combination. We were also not disappointed with the main dish which had a nice variety of meat (beef, chicken and pork) served with an eastern flavour. The creme brulee as desert was done the way it should be so no complaints there.. Staff was friendly, efficient and welcoming. Happy to see another place in a small town like Doorn worth visiting.
