Welcome to our à la carte restaurant! Dear Guest, We are pleased to welcome you to our à la carte restaurant! Van der Valk Hotels & Restaurants was founded in 1929 by Martinus & Rie Van der Valk. The first location, De Gouden Leeuw (The Gold Lion), was situated at a strategic location for business travellers between The Hague and Rotterdam. It became a great success very quickly. During WWII the Germans seized the restaurant, the family had to flee but returned unharmed after the war and rebuilt De Gouden Leeuw. After the war, they expanded with a large children s playground and a few hotel rooms. When asked why the restaurant was opened 7 days a week, he invariably replied: Because the week doesn t have 8 days. The basic of the successful Van der Valk formula is rooted firmly in how we view hospitality. The attitude and entrepreneurial spirit of the family is still an example for the younger generation(s) of Valken. With enthusiasm, passion and a healthy dose of Dutch common sense, they follow in the footsteps of their forbears. Take a seat in our tastefully decorated restaurant and enjoy an excellent meal in a casual atmosphere. Our head chef Jan van Oeveren, together with his kitchen staff, guarantee the quality of various international dishes what will be served to you for dinner at our restaurant.
