De Hoofdtoren Description:
De Hoofdtoren is a restaurant located in the centre of the Hoorn Harbour. The building is one of the three remaining 16th and 17th century defence buildings. You can see the image of the tower on paintings of the battle on the Zuiderzee, between the Dutch and the Spaniards during the 80-year war (when the prince of Orange, the one from whom our Queen decends, defended our country at the end of the 16th century).
In this tower, with tiny small powder-canon sized holes and wooden floors, your dinner is served on wooden tables and tin plates, like the ancient sailors to the East used to have.
The chefs serve orginal dishes, sometimes related to this old past, and are into specialties.
The atmosphere has definitely aspects of the past, a bonus if you like that. Its the only old defence building used as a restaurant. The other two are used as a house and gallery.
A three course meal costs about 24,55 to 28,35 euro.
A four course meal costs about 33,35 to 39,90 euro.
