Having dined at Our Seaside for the third Christmas in a row, this beach restaurant is now a tradition for us. Our Seaside is located about 40 minutes down the beach from the Zeeuwse Stromen hotel. On fair days, it's a wonderfully relaxing stroll over the immense stretch of sandy beach. And no worries, if it's stormy like it was for us this Christmas. There's a parking lot on Rampweg just over the dunes from the restaurant.
In fact on 27 Dec 2014, a day of wet snow and fierce winds blowing in from the sea, there was a surprisingly constant stream of visitors braving the dismal conditions to reach Our Seaside. If that isn't proof of good food and cozy warm shelter, I don't know what is.
Our Seaside's lunch menu features delicious large sandwiches such as the gourmet hamburger I had and beverages ranging from hot steaming mugs of coffee and cocoa to fresh mint tea. Other favorites of mine are the large salads, especially the one featuring smoked fish. What is characteristic of this restaurant is that they excel equally in meat, wild game and seafood specialties including lobster.
Last Christmas we enjoyed a special wild game three-course dinner with a variety of venison and wild hog dishes. This Christmas we went for fillets of Atlantic sea wolf with a crunchy mustard crust and red wine sauce on a bed of mashed potatoes and glasswort. And to top this feast off, we were served a homemade warm apfelstrudel with an incredibly crunchy paper-thin crust. The best I've had ever. Although we traditionally visit Our Seaside in the winter, I'm sure there is great food to be had all year around.
