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
it all starts with the ingredients
the smell of salty sea air blows over the island and the sheep, cattle and vegetables 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 hans zijm, sander de ridder, lea broekman of slagerij Goenga located in this village
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, exclusivity
the world is coming round to our way of thinking that volume comes at an artisanal cost and scale can mean dilution and discover that slow and micro is the way to go: limit volume but increased value means freedom this is our moment in the sun the trend have come to us better for us better for the earth
a sence of place embrace the quiet gentle and slow exclusivity and savouring the cosy casual ambience and enjoy drink and dine
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 mainstream from the mass, exclusivity is not something which is but it's something you create and that means freedom
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
TeXel does not belong to us we belong to TeXel
