De Silveren Spiegel

Purchased by Jim van der Hoff and his wife Francisca 16 years ago, their son Yves recently joined the business. “He is an amazing chef, who has worked in restaurants with Michelin stars for years,” Van der Hoff says, which is remarkable because he is only 22 years old. But, as guests have said multiple times, he is very capable. His speciality? “The eel always does great, as does the North Sea crab. But fish isn’t our only success. Our dish with stewed calf from Amsterdam is incredibly popular too,” Van der Hoff explains. “We want to promote Dutch products, all the ingredients we use originate here. As do the liqueurs and gin.”
