| What to eat in Drenthe is a company with a local service area. | |
The quietest province in the country, with heathland, megalithic tombs and a plain farming kitchen.
Eierballen and snack bars
Drenthe belongs to eierbal territory. Village snack bars carry it as standard, beside kroket and frikandel.
Buckwheat
The sandy soil grew buckwheat rather than wheat for centuries. Pancakes and poffertjes made with buckwheat flour come from that background.
Cycling and stopping
The province lives on cycle tourism. Tea gardens and farm terraces along the routes outnumber restaurants in the villages themselves.
Game and farm produce
Farm shops with their own cheese, sausage and vegetables sit closer together here than in the Randstad. Many restaurants work with producers nearby.
What is missing
Large cities, and therefore a dense restaurant scene. Eating in Drenthe means a village or a cycle route, and that is the character.
Where to look
Assen and Emmen for restaurants, the cycle routes for tea gardens, farm shops for regional produce.
