Het Kompas ! Micro Slow Food Wadden Island Restaurant / THE Scotch whisky bar + TeXel single cask whisky's
handcrafted
without compromise
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
it all starts with the ingredients
het begint met de ingredienten / alles beginnt mit den Zutaten
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 it taste as it looks: it's real
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 comes if possible from TeXel's soil our living larder
herbs such as lavender, thyme, rosemary, chives, sage, lovage comes from our own garden
and born and grazed TeXel lamb & TeXel beef are slaughtered since 1981 for us by the artisans hans zijm, sander de ridder, lea broekman of butchery Goenga located in this village
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 this movement found that it is time to act to escape of fast food and rediscover the rich varieties and aromas of local kitchens
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
Het Kompas ! is in early 2000's one of the first members of the Slow Food Italy movement and community in the Netherlands
Slow Life is an attitude a mindset and a return to genuine values such as vintage, craftsmanship, timeless, authenticity, sustainability, exclusivity
the good things in life still exist
de goede dingen in het leven bestaan nog steeds / die guten Dinge im Leben gibt es noch immer
the world is coming round to our way of thinking that it is obvious that more volume comes at an artisanal cost and larger scale means dilution
you are what and where you dine
U bent wat en waar U uit eten gaat / Sie sind was und wo Sie ein Abendessen geniessen
away from the crowd be no nomad, dare to think different say goodbye to the uncovered tables and escape away from the mainstream, from the mass, this is the time to be just different
exclusivity is not something which is, but it's something that we can create and starts with ourself, limit volume with increased value means and grants freedom and independence, quality loving and financially strong, be daring and fearless and that is not for everyone and proudly so it's
we believe in authenticity provenance and traceability
we believe in terroir matters
we believe in Slow Food
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
