Brasserie Rebecca
Tasting fresh ingredients, the taste of the season. Local and international, classic and surprising, honest and imaginative. That is the versatile cuisine of Rebecca. In the middle of Texel, you can taste the best that this island and its surroundings have to offer. Asparagus from De Waal, crustaceans from the sea around Texel, but also the best from 'de Overkant'. Because it is precisely on an island that everything comes together, and you can taste that in the Brasserie of Hotel Rebecca.
Melvin and Leon
Rebecca's kitchen is the kitchen of Melvin and Leon van Sambeek. Two brothers, two cooks, two craftsmen. They gather the best ingredients and come up with the most original combinations. They have mastered the art and the craft. Melvin and Leon's dishes do not only appeal to neighbours and hotel guests, but they also attract visitors from Texel and much further afield. Rebecca's cuisine is challenging and refined, it is pure bliss at the Hogereind. Dining in De Waal is a real treat...
An evening of enjoying the most delicious dishes accompanied with carefully selected wines, and flavours that go together smoothly or that just tickle your fancy. That's inspiring. The tranquil De Waal is the perfect backdrop.
Brasserie with its own vegetable garden
Brasserie Rebecca combines local and international ingredients. Those who dine on Texel will expect fish, shellfish and lamb. But also the excellent asparagus grown within walking distance of Brasserie Rebecca. Characterful beer from the island, brewed with wheat from our own village. That is our foundation, the Texel soil and the salty air, the endless sea. That is where we begin and where we continue.
We make a lot of things ourselves. We love the work it takes to do that. What we serve our guests has passed through our own hands, we have seen it grow, risen and baked ourselves. The bread we serve is our own bread. Many of the vegetables and herbs in our dishes come from Rebecca's own garden. When you are enjoying a glass of wine on our terrace in the evening sun, you can smell those herbs and see the soil in which they grow. Tasting therefore becomes very direct, very pure. Perhaps that is what is so very Texel about it.
But at least as quintessentially Texel is the view across the sea, to other tastes, other smells, and other regional products as well. Brasserie Rebecca serves worldly wines that match the dishes we serve. The islanders have always sailed and they have always brought the whole world to their cuisine, which is just as much a part of Texel. Melvin and Leon like to let the local and the international go hand in hand. By doing so, we do justice to our island and follow our hearts, our taste buds. The visitors of Brasserie Rebecca enjoy it together with us.
