Three months ago Restaurant Hygge opened their doors for the first time. It is located just outside the city centre, a bit North and more towards Tuinwijk. Hygge, pronounced ‘húú-guh’ has a cosy and stylish interior which makes it perfect for a night out.

Hygge
A calm, comfortable time with people you love. A complete absence of frustrations, or anything emotionally overwhelming, often enjoyed with good food and drinks, warm blankets and candlelight. That is the meaning of the word Hygge, which is Danish. It definitely lives up to the message they have portrayed and exceeds all expectations. The amazing establishment and the plants contributes to this. But also the staff is a great factor, you can tell that they run the restaurant with passion and love.

Small dishes to share
On the menu you’ll find various fingerlicking dishes which you can share. Personally, I really loved this concept, because you don’t have to make a choice between the dishes, but just try a few. We shared six dishes between the two of us, which was more than enough. A very memorable dish was the Caprese which was made, not with normal mozzarella, but with the only buffalo mozzarella made in The Netherlands. Also really good was the Tuna Tataki and the Picanha Chimichurry which were my favourites. The dishes are pretty standard, but well executed. Would have been nice to find something typical Danish here. But if you ask me, Hygge is very nice for a delicious night out.
