Het Kompas Slow Food Wadden Island Restaurant is in early 2000's one of the first members of the slow food
movement Italy in the Netherlands
slow food: the history of an idea
slow food was started in Piemonte by Carlo Petrini and a group of activists on 10 December 1989 (is Terra Madre day)
with the initial aim to defend regional traditions, good food, gastronomic pleasure and a slow pace of life
slow living is a mindset and a return to genuine values such as, craftsmanship, timeless, sustainable, tradition,
individuality, independence
the good things in life still exist
the world is coming round to our way of thinking and discover conscious that slow and small is the way to go
this is our moment in the sun the trend have come to us
a sence of place embrace the quiet gentle and slow exclusivity and savouring the cosy casual
ambience and enjoy drink and dine treat yourself and go for it
slow food is a way of life
stray from the herd stand out of the crowd be no nomad think differently from others and
say goodbye to the uncovered tables this is the time to be slow and escape away from the horde, the mass
we believe in authenticity provenance & traceability
we believe in terroir matters
we believe in slow
we believe in the soul of the artisan
we believe in and belong to TeXel
in everything we stand for
