1. EatSpanish restaurant

   Las Tapas

3. EatThai restaurant

   Chiang Mai

   Mangerie

   Among the better Chinese restaurants in town, and not a typical one. It's definitely high class with the French wine list as one of its features. The staff is professional and the food is delicious. Try the Peking Duck.

   16:00-22:00 daily·€30-60

9. EatFrench restaurant

   Heren Spyker

   These houses are known as the Spijkerpandjes and these used to be the oldest remaining buildings in Hilversum. Unfortunately, the original buildings were torn down in the 1990s, so these are reconstructed. The one on the right was a residential house built in 1770, while the one on the left was a smithy built around 1880. Jacobus Spyker lived in these buildings, whose sons later founded the 'Spyker' car brand. Now a restaurant, the focus is on contemporary French and Mediterranean dishes, very well presented on a wide array of china. Very original dishes, prepared with love by a very enthusiastic chef. Lots of wines served by the glass. Excellent value.

   Tue 18:00-22:00, Wed-Sat 12:00-22:00·€40-50

10. EatRestaurant

    De Jonge Haan

    This is the most upscale "brasserie" of Hilversum and the best place to run into Dutch celebrities. It is listed 57th in the Top 100 Best Dutch Cafés of the magazine Horeca Misset. At any time of the day you can walk in for coffee or tea with a muffin or pie. The interior looks professional and the Dutch word gezellig (nice and cosy) definitely applies here. Sit outdoors on warm summer days, as the café is in a breezy green neighbourhood.
