Between the Maas and Waal rivers
Flicka
Located along the dike, in the watery landscape between the Maas and Waal rivers, lies Flicka. Thomas and Merlijn made their dreams come true when opening Flicka with great success. Flicka is Swedish for girl. This name was chosen because of the love Thomas has for his three girls: his daughters and his wife Merlijn. Flicka's top priority is their guests experience. The atmospheric suites and the restaurant have been decorated by Merlijn, the hostess. Thomas and Merlijn are a true dream team. While Thomas, being a perfectionist, is completely focussed on his cuisine, Merlijn makes sure that the guests are pampered.

Key Features and Services
Reviews
"Flicka is the epitome of a modern restaurant. Thomas van Santvoort combines the experience he gained in top restaurants such as Parkheuvel and Boreas. Your trip to Flicka is also rewarded with a splendid view of the green surroundings and the river Maas."
Michelin*
"Tight but warm interior for this neat restaurant on the dike, with comfortable chairs. Chef Thomas van Santvoort surprises with well balanced and thoughtful flavour combinations. Equally pleasant is the service that explains the dishes and wines well, not pedantic but interesting and to the point."
