Wood, metal and leather lend this restaurant an intimate feel; a striking glass-fronted wine cabinet adds the perfect final flourish. In fine weather, a table on the terrace is the best choice – the view of the lock and windmill is magnificent. Chef Erik Tas delights diners with bright, harmonious pairings in which sauces and broths are delicately balanced. Take his multi-layered signature dish featuring pork belly, langoustine and foie royal, accompanied by herb oil and a peppery jus. Service is friendly and professional, with the chef himself often welcoming diners warmly. Bij Erik is impeccably run and delivers superb value for money.
