Het Kook Atelier

Sometimes you just get lucky! My last several Michelin experiences have been overpriced and mediocre. We went to the island of Texel for the weekend. At 16:00 on a Sunday, we decided to search something for dinner. We found op Oost thx to searching Google maps. I was shocked that on this little island was a Green Michelin star restaurant. I called to see if they could accommodate us on short notice. I have a severe fish and shellfish allergy. After confirming with the kitchen, we were booked for 18:00. I was highly skeptical that we could have a good experience in middle of the island in a tiny village. From the moment we arrived, they proved me wrong. What followed for the next 2 hours was one of the best meals of my life with absolutely perfect service from both the front and back of the house. The first course came and without me having to say anything again, my wife was served a fish dish and I was served an equivalent non fish dish. Each additional course was perfect. The hotel was sold out due to a wedding so the restaurant had space because of it. We were beyond lucky. If you’re visiting Texel, maybe you can get lucky too because op Oost is not to be missed! A final big thank you to the staff for taking perfect care of us!!!!

If you are looking for an excellent restaurant, you will find it here. An experience in a class of its own, a harmonious ambience, great service and a dinner that is synonymous with the island of Texel. If you want to find the combination of nature and food on your plate, you'll find it here. An excellent wine pairing and an appropriate accompaniment in the form of a non-alcoholic option make the restaurant a place you absolutely must visit. Excellent.

Op Oost restaurant will offer a great experience while enjoying local ingredients mainly around sea food. The place is gorgeous and cozy, with friendly service and original flavors! we had a lovely evening Note when booking: consider at least 4hrs from the time of your reservation, so that you can enjoy the full experience with all its wonderful dishes! we unfortunately didn't plan ahead and needed to rush a bit in the end, would have loved to stay longer :)

Amazing stay, again, this is the second time we went and they kept their service top notch consistently. Op Oost is a perfect retreat to embrace the surrounding and beauty of Texel. The quality of the rooms and food is nothing short of it. While integrating with local suppliers, they totally complete the whole experience. Having been here twice now, we will come back in the future. But not before we recommend ours friends to go too!

We went full experience with 8 course menu paired with wines. We really liked 3 dishes, some were ok, and 2 were not for our taste, but always well prepared and well presented. Ambience is great and staff was attentive, although sometimes it felt like a long wait for the next dish (we stayed there for 5 hours to get though the 8 dishes). Nothing special was offered for the person celebrating birthday but that’s ok, although it would have been a nice touch (especially when you went for the full menu!). Overall it was obviously expensive, but a nice birthday indulgence!
