Culinary island adventure with flair

Bij Jef Restaurant & Hotel

There’s one thing you notice immediately when you stay at Bij Jef: you’re on an island. There’s something about the fresh colours, clear light and hip but comfortable decor that perfectly complements the Dutch island atmosphere, and the hotel is just a short walk from the beach. At Bij Jef on Texel not only can you enjoy exceptional dining but also wake up refreshed. The contemporary design merges with the restaurant’s innovative and unconventional character. The individually designed unique suites are well appointed with double rain showers and boxspring beds with the famous Texel duvets made from local lambs’ wool. The suites offer beautiful views of the island’s green fields. Chef Jef and sommelier Nadine are true culinary royalty. His dishes gain their distinctive flavours from the pure and naturally saline local ingredients. The perfect place for a gastronomic break with international flair.

Reviews

"As soon as you step inside Bij Jef, you are struck by a sense of peace and space. The pure design interior is specially designed to relax and enjoy the assets of Texel. The local suckling lamb is world-famous and, of course, a fixture here as well. But Jef Schuur gets much more out of his surroundings."

Michelin*

"She controls the room with great elegance, style, class and expertise. The perfect maître who has seen it all and still has the peace of mind to give the guests just that little bit more so that they feel simply special. Such a combination of professional knowledge, drive and passion is rare. She is an inspiration to young people who want to distinguish themselves in hospitality. Nadine Mögling is therefore our Hostess of the Year 2022!"
