Restaurant Week

This week is the Restaurant Week in the Netherlands ;-)

You have two more days to enjoy a diner in a special restaurant only for 25 euros ;-)

Click here to chose the province, the city and the restaurant where you want to go.

Here you can find the restaurants in the region of Utrecht and the Gooi.

I had no time to see all the options and I made a very quick choice: De Graf van Brederode.

Vianen is the city where you can find this cosy, friendly and good restaurant :-)

" Vianen received city rights in 1337. Vianen thrived under the counts of Brederode, who acquired its lordship through marriage early in the 15th century. It formed a self-proclaimed sovereign seignory till 1795, including Vianen, Lexmond, Hei- en Boeicop and Meerkerk. During the Middle Ages, as a "free city," Vianen could be a haven for felons and escaped serfs. Of the three castles built during the town's history, Castle Batestein was said to be one of the most beautiful in the Netherlands. Its only remnants are a 17th century brick gate and water-pump. Remnants of the old city wall are visible girdling parts of the old downtown.
Vianen celebrates its city rights every year in October with a horse-market. Besides the horses there are also other activities on this day, such as a fair and market and traditional Dutch games."
