Yerseke Oyster Tasting House
Oesterij
An oyster farm and tasting house on Yerseke harbour, with wooden benches facing the oyster ponds and oysters, mussels and lobster opened to order.
Located at Havendijk 12 in Yerseke, the site combines an oyster farm, a tasting house, a shop and a small exhibition space. The glass-walled dining area faces the oyster holding tanks, and the atmosphere is casual. You can compare Dutch flat oysters, imperial oysters and varieties introduced from several countries. Popular items include steamed oysters with hollandaise foam, lobster soup and seafood platters. The tasting house takes no reservations, and lunchtime queues can be long, so arrive before 11:30 am. It closes at 6:00 pm, so it's not suitable for dinner. Prices are generally considered fair. Visiting the oyster ponds and exhibition shed is free. Driving is the easiest option; it's about 35 km from Middelburg.
Opening hours
Usually daily 10:00 am–6:00 pm (may close Mon–Wed in the low season; check with the venue before visiting); closed Christmas Day, Second Christmas Day and New Year's Day
