Villa Augustus Restaurant

Top choice in South Holland


Chefs here make the most of the harvest from the large attached kitchen garden and orchard, supplemented by what is in season at the local markets. Produce is largely organic, and always fresh. You'll dine in the former pumping station of the historic water tower housing hotel Villa Augustus, a bustling space with a vast open kitchen and pizza oven.

An attached shop sells house-baked items alongside quirky gifts, cookbooks and gardening tools.
