A visit to Olivijn is possible for any occasion such as a luxurious dinner, cosy lunch or business meeting.

SVH-Meesterkok Menno Post (known from De Bokkedoorns**) and Saskia de Wal Post are the proud owners of restaurant Olivijn*. Full of enthusiasm she dedicates herself every day to give guests a unique experience. They work with a menu and à la carte, but Menno Post itself is a walking menu. Pleasantly he visits the tables to ask what people would like to try.
They mainly work with organic products. The fish, for example, comes from the North Sea and the meat is from Dutch soil. Menno likes to let his honesty resound in his working methods and makes sure that every ingredient gets the right attention. French flavours can be considered elegant, refined and subtle. All senses are stimulated by Olivine.
Sommelier Milton Verseput and Maître Patrick Reijnders ensure that the guest is not lacking anything. Choice of fine wines that perfectly match the dinner. With a lot of passion, fun and above all sense of humour, the staff ensures that it is an evening to remember!
