The next day we went for a ride around the area and then to De Lindenhof for dinner. Our hotel Harmonie was recommended in the Lonely Planet for excellent service, and indeed it had. Dressing for dinner we realized there was no iron in the room and I took my crumpled shirt to reception to see if they had a guest laundry. Despite being busy with serving dinner they took my shirt and returned it nicely ironed within five minutes, no charge.

The De Lindenhof restaurant has two Michelin stars. We indulged in the seven course 'tasting menu' with matched wines. The Michelin stars were more than well deserved, each course was innovative in presentation and taste, giving the food had the 'wow' factor. The service was excellent, attentive and professional yet genuinely friendly. It was also one of the few non smoking restaurants that we found, thus removing the risk of smokers spoiling an expensive meal. De Lindenhof deserves 3 stars.
