The first gastrobar in Drenthe
What makes our restaurant in Drenthe perhaps the most special restaurant in Drenthe is that we are the first - and so far - only gastrobar in the Kop van Drenthe. But what exactly is a gastrobar, you might ask?
A gastrobar combines the atmosphere of a bar with high-quality culinary dishes. The concept is inspired by the British 'gastropub', where pubs serve sophisticated meals as well as drinks. The bar takes centre stage, creating a relaxed and accessible setting. This is all about enjoying together, where you will be surprised by dishes prepared with passion, as well as a good glass of wine or a surprising cocktail. The concept is low-threshold, but with attention to quality and taste.
At Gastrobar Onder de Linden in Roden, we bring this concept to life. Here, everything is about conviviality, connection and pure enjoyment. Our kitchen is inspired by the seasons and local Drenthe products. Whether you opt for lunch, dinner or drinks, every dish tells its own story. It makes us the place to eat out in Drenthe, any time of the day.
Get a taste of the North in our restaurant
At Gastrobar Onder de Linden, everything is about the real flavours of the north. Our dishes are made with local products, directly from suppliers in the region; such as the artisanal cheeses from Kaaslust and the beers from Maallust and Bax Bier. Every ingredient tells a story of the region and brings the rich flavours of the north to your plate.
In addition, we cook with the seasons. That means you taste something new every time you visit, from fresh summer berries to earthy autumn mushrooms. So we keep it exciting in the kitchen and you always enjoy the very best ingredients nature has to offer. With us, eating out in Drenthe goes beyond just eating - it is a unique taste experience in which the environment is central.
