once you've been to TeXel you 'll always go back
TeXel is nestled at the edges of two seas the North Sea and the limitless nature of World Heritage
the Wadden Sea and TeXel is just different something of a world apart and has an inspiring natural environment
in the shadow of the famous church build in 1425 and its 28 metres high white tower
build in 1450 on the boundary of the "olde lant" of TeXel where dunes, forest, farmland and sea come together
in the heart of the rural tranquil village of Den Hoorn is a small lavender blue building with at the wall the red lion
on a yellow flag the unofficial Scottish flag that's where Het Kompas is
adults only
just different
we do not follow trends.
we have our own beliefs
we put everything we are
in everything we make
natural from earth to table dealing with TeXel's heritage beautiful nature and countryside makes this
island just truly different from every other place in the world
TeXel does not belong to us we belong to TeXel
it all starts with the ingredients
the smell of salty sea air blows over the island and the sheep and cattle on TeXel are shaped by its soil and climate
this simplicity represents authenticity and exclusivity it's just pure nature the lamb and beef from this island speaks for itself
the best food is only archieved by using the best ingredients and vegetables can as always be only as good as
the earth in which it grows and come if possible from TeXel's soil our living larder
lavender, thyme, rosemary, chives, sage, lovage from our own garden and born and grazed
TeXel lamb & TeXel beef comes since 1981 from the artisans

Het Kompas Micro Slow Food Wadden Island Restaurant & The Scotch Whisky Bar + TeXel single cask whisky's
is in early 2000's one of the first members of the Slow Food movement Italy in the Netherlands
good - clean - fair
slow food springs to life in Italy in March 1986 when the opening of a fast food restaurant near the Spanish Steps in Rome sparks widespread national protest and Carlo Petrini and the other founders of the movement found that it is time to act to escape of "fast food" rediscover the rich varieties and aromas of local cuisines "fast life" has changed our lifestyle and so the slow food movement starts on Terra Madre Day 10 December 1989 in Piemonte with the initial aim to defend regional traditions good food gastronomic pleasure and a slow pace of life
the good things in life still exist
slow going out for dinner is a mindset and a return to genuine values such as craftsmanship, timeless, authenticity, sustainability
the world is coming round to our way of thinking that volume comes at an artisanal cost and discovers that
slow and micro 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
away from the crowd be no nomad dare to think differently and be individual say goodbye to the uncovered tables
this is the time to be slow and escape away from the mass
we believe in authenticity provenance and 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
