Basiliek’s cuisine
Basiliek's cuisine is influenced by traditional French flavour combinations translated to modern times. Chef Rik Jansma prefers to use local Dutch ingredients as much as possible and changes the menu based on the seasons. Chef Rik is always on the lookout for honest, high-quality products, which he finds at small farmers and producers who have their heart in the right place. As a result, he likes to work with produce as close as possible to the point of origin and keeps personal contact with the owners. In addition to this, the restaurant grows its own herbs and eatable flowers, which are turned into edible works of art on the plate. Among the favourites on the menu are the fried langoustine with tomato, lovage, smoked pork belly and tamarillo, as well as the filet of Hierden's lamb with zucchini, broad beans, savory, black olive and charred aubergine. Sommelier Tabitha Jansma will perfectly pair each dish with the right wine. On the extensive wine list you’ll find more than 400 choices from all over the world, including many amazing champagnes as well.
