Game season has begun at Havezathe Carpe Diem 🍂

When the leaves begin to turn and the Montferlandse bossen wrap themselves in warm autumn colours, one of the finest culinary seasons of the year begins: game season!

At Havezathe Carpe Diem in Vethuizen, we look forward to this special time every year. For many years, we have been a favourite destination for game lovers. In our atmospheric restaurant, set in the historic part of our havezathe, it’s all about enjoying pure flavours, surprising combinations, and dishes that suit the season.

Our head chef Lars Elshof and his kitchen team give game dishes a character of their own. From classic preparations to contemporary creations with an unexpected twist: every course is an invitation to truly taste the season.

🍷 A culinary evening to savour

Eating game is more than dinner; it’s a complete experience. Take a seat in our atmospheric restaurant, enjoy our warm welcome, and let yourself be carried away by the flavours of the season.

You can choose from various courses and game dishes, with the option to pair your dinner with carefully selected matching wines. Let our chef surprise you with a specially curated menu.
