Helmed by Dutch Chef Patrick van der Donk and his wife Ivette, a certified sommelier, this boutique dining spot hosts only about 20 guests per evening. The experience is designed to be personal and interactive, with an open kitchen layout that allows diners to witness the artistry behind every dish.

Chef Patrick’s cuisine is heavily French-inspired but incorporates global flavors and textures, often described as a “world tour” for the palate. With Ivette guiding the wine service, the optional pairing is expertly curated to elevate each course. The atmosphere is cozy, elegant, and focused entirely on the food, making it a favorite for couples and serious gourmands seeking a quiet escape from the busier resort restaurants.
