Bij Jef
The only Michelin-starred restaurant in the Wadden Islands, serving a daily-changing tasting menu built on Texel lamb and Wadden Sea seafood.
Local chef Jef Schuur opened the restaurant in 1996 in a former vicarage in Den Hoorn. It has held a Michelin star since 2009 and joined Relais & Châteaux. His wife, Nadine Mögling, oversees the wine service. The menu centres on fish and shellfish from the Wadden Sea and North Sea, vegetables from the 7,000 square metres of home garden and Texel lamb, and often includes three lamb courses in one meal, such as cockles with lamb bacon and lamb neck slow-cooked in seawater. The 2026 seven-course tasting menu costs about €190. There are suites upstairs, and reservations are required.
