the wind trough your hair whilst in the background you can hear the waves with screeching seagulls and smell the salty sea air
embrace the TeXel's nature where the air and seas are to be the purest TeXel is nestled at the edges of two seas the North Sea and the limitless nature of World Heritage the Wadden Sea


Het Kompas Micro Wadden Island Restaurant
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 rolling dunes, forest, farmland and the two seas come together

and 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 it is: Het Kompas


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 from every other place in the world


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 and 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 is and if possible 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 are slaughtered since 1981 for us by the artisans hans zijm, sander de ridder, lea broekman of slagerij 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 the movement found that it is time to act to escape of "fast food" rediscover the rich varieties and aromas of local cuisines than Slow Life changes your 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


Het Kompas is in early 2000's one of the first members of the Slow Food movement Italy in the Netherlands


Slow Life is a mindset and a return to genuine values such as 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

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 so 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


a sence of place embrace the quiet gentle and Slow exclusivity and savouring the cosy casual ambience


back to the future
away from the crowd be no nomad dare to think different say goodbye to the uncovered tables and be individual taking control on one's own destiny and escape away from the mainstream from the mass this is the time to Slow down


exclusivity is not something which is but it's something you create and that also means freedom


we believe in authenticity provenance and traceability
we believe in terroir matters
we believe in Slow Life
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
