Restaurant De Mark
I don’t even know where to begin: the stunning location by the banks of the IJmeer, the cosy interior featuring an authentic open fireplace, or the refined menu filled with local Dutch ingredients. Restaurant De Mark excels in every way and deserves a spot on your to-visit list. It’s ideal for large groups and offers private dining areas. Oh, and in summer, you’ll love the waterside terrace.

Helling 7
A venue like this couldn’t be overly polished – it just wouldn’t suit the surroundings. So the owners of Helling 7 ensured the décor is as industrial as its location. That doesn’t mean there’s no warm atmosphere. Thanks to the white table linen, there’s even a hint of elegance. The entire restaurant can be rented for a wedding dinner. If that’s a bit too much, they also cater to large groups – the options are endless, and the food is excellent. In short, it is everything you want on your big day.
