Experience a gastronomic total experience
Restaurant de Echoput
The restaurant of De Echoput has been renowned for its natural (game) preparations and wine pairings for years. The unique surroundings play a significant role in this. During the season, they work with locally sourced Veluwe game and various vegetables, herbs, and mushrooms from the surrounding area. Inspired by grandfather Jaap Klosse, a pioneer in the Dutch culinary scene, they aim to surprise guests time and again with unique flavors and textures. For over 50 years, the Klosse family has been importing all wines for De Echoput themselves, allowing them to provide guests with a unique selection of fine wines with excellent value for money, both at the restaurant table and for home enjoyment.
A new generation of wild gastronomy
Wild Atelier
Tucked away in the heart of the Veluwe forest lies Wild Atelier – an intimate fine dining restaurant by Hotel Gastronomique De Echoput and Master Chef Jonathan Zandbergen. With just 24 seats each evening, Wild Atelier offers an exclusive culinary journey where wild game, nature, and storytelling come together. Vitality, craftsmanship, and seasonal ingredients are at the core of every dish. From venison to sea buckthorn, from North Sea crab to spruce tips – each course tells a story about the rich biodiversity of the Dutch landscape. The setting is warm and contemporary, designed to fully immerse you in a sensory experience. Top chef Jonathan Zandbergen brings his vision of health and sustainability to life with pure, local, and refined cuisine. In collaboration with the Klosse family – pioneers in wild gastronomy for decades – Wild Atelier opens a new chapter in De Echoput’s rich culinary tradition. Not a typical restaurant evening, but a carefully curated exploration of flavor, balance, and experience. Open for dinner from Wednesday through Saturday, reservation only. The restaurant opens its doors on Friday, June 27, 2025.
