Restaurant De Kapelaan is situated in the chapel of a former abbey of the black sisters. It is monumentally protected since 1997. The building is one of the strong points of the restaurant. The inside is divided in three levels, which can be seen from the entrance thanks to the open architecture. The ground level has the original memorial stone for the monks in white marble in its decor ( which is where we sat ). The first floor which contains an open kitchen and the second floor which is situated in the dome of the chapel

Food wise De Kapelaan has - besides a regular menu - a tapas formula, they call ´´ de tapalaantjes ´´. It consisting of a variety of 10 small dishes ( they advise to have 3 to 4 as a meal ). The other dishes on the menu are rather simple but well prepared. While waiting for the dish we were surprised to get a little amuse-bouche of tuna sashimi and fat liver. The main itself was okay, nothing more nothing less. All in all it was with care prepared food in an unusual location. Till next time!
