Restaurant 't Zwaantje

When will you visit?
Come during the asparagus season, as soon as the ‘white gold’ is back on the menu. On a spring day like this, with the sun filtering through the trees, this is the perfect spot. Is it a bit chilly? Then the inn is all the more inviting: warm inside, a hearty meal and perhaps a short stroll across the heath afterwards.
What to expect.
At Herberg Restaurant ’t Zwaantje, the focus is on seasonal dishes, local produce and classics that are simply excellent. In spring, asparagus takes centre stage: tender, fresh and prepared with care. Did you know that ’t Zwaantje has been passing on its tradition of hospitality for five generations and is a purveyor to the royal household? You can taste that in the attention to detail at the table.

Our tip for your visit
Give them a call or book well in advance as soon as asparagus appears on the menu. Ask straight away which dish is the kitchen’s favourite that day. Fancy a quick trip to the Mookerheide afterwards? Then you’ll have exactly the sort of spring day you’ll look back on fondly later on.
Region tip: The icon in the neighbourhood
Combine your asparagus lunch or dinner with a visit to the Mookerheide Estate. First, take a walk past the hunting lodge, the gardens and the heathland, then sit down to enjoy the ‘white gold’ at ’t Zwaantje. That’s pure gold. Also worth a visit in the same atmosphere: Mookerheide Hunting Lodge, the Mookerschans and a stroll through the Groesbeek woods.
