Fundamental
Restaurant
Atelier
We explore the fundamentals of gastronomy. However, “there is no restaurant behind the curtains”. Instead, we are an atelier hosting events with a Chef’s Table in the kitchen seating only ten people & four sets for 2 or 4 persons for an even more private experience.
At Fundamental we investigate the distinctive characteristics of our surrouning landscape zones (Sea, Salt marshes, dunes, rivers, polders and forests), examining different soils, their impact on flavour and how they relate to our ever-changing environment. Gastronomy is more than just food; it encompasses science, mathematics, art and design elements that likewise inspire meaningful conversations at the table.
We are inspired by the rhythm of nature, our local surroundings and culture.
We invite you to spend an evening with us for an immersive experience of our location, a sequence of dishes, and (non)alcoholic pairing, surrounded by contemporary design. Based on our inspirations and exploring the outcomes of our test kitchen in our Atelier.

NOVEMBER
This November, we present a menu based on what we know and what we have explored in the South of France and Spain. It is not a replication but a reflection of places we have been, the herbs we picked and the people we have met. Seafood from the coast, vegetables from inland soil and wild game treated with patience and fire. Every dish has been reduced to what matters. No nostalgia, no excess. Just flavour, texture, balance and time, carried by the season and finished with intent.
5 course menu: 75,00 PP EXCL Pairing.

We cook with flame, fermentation and time… where simplicity becomes complex and every detail whispers of nature.
