Frequently asked questions

I have an allergy or dietary requirement — can you accommodate me?

Certainly. On request we cook allergen-free. Mention your needs when booking or call us in advance, and the kitchen will tailor the menu to you.

Are children welcome?

Children are welcome. To preserve the calm and atmosphere, babies in prams are unfortunately not possible in the restaurant — do call us to discuss the options.

Can I come with a large party?

Online you can book for up to 10 guests. For larger parties there is the Orangery (8 to 45 guests) — a private, secluded space with its own terrace. E-mail us for a proposal.

Is there a smoking area?

Smoking is permitted under the sheltered canopy next to the restaurant.

Which gift vouchers do you accept?

We only accept our own IDRW gift voucher, the Alliance voucher and the Gegarandeerde Dinerbon.

Can we get married at your venue?

Yes — In Den Rustwat is an official wedding venue. The Orangery is suited to ceremony, reception, lunch and dinner. Request a proposal without obligation.
