TEXELFANSIn the heart of Den Hoorn, on the Herenstraat and right behind the iconic white church, you will find Brasserie Loodsmans. It is the kind of place where you immediately understand why people say Den Hoorn is such a charming village. Narrow streets, historic facades and a peaceful, almost timeless atmosphere make it the perfect spot to truly unwind.
Cosy and personal
The location is perfect: you can walk straight from the church into the brasserie. It is not a huge establishment, but that is exactly what makes it cosy and personal. The menu is compact but well-thought-out. You can tell they don't opt for quantity here, but for quality and attention to detail.
TexelFans Tip
The spare ribs here are highly recommended. Perfectly cooked, with a beautiful spicy flavour and wonderfully tender. But you should also definitely try the spicy mushrooms from the oven. A delicious vegetarian dish with enough kick to keep you curious – and secretly quite addictive.
Texel-style hospitality
What makes Brasserie Loodsmans extra special is the team. Hospitality is central here, but in true Texel style: relaxed and without any fuss. A quick chat, a great tip or a local suggestion for your day on the island – it all comes naturally.
A perfect stop in Den Hoorn
Den Hoorn itself is a destination in its own right, with its winding streets, artists and that famous church visible from afar. A visit to Brasserie Loodsmans is the perfect finishing touch to your trip to this part of Texel. Whether you live on the island or are visiting for a breezy weekend getaway, this is an address you will remember.
In short: Brasserie Loodsmans is proof that you don't just come to the south of Texel for the landscape, but also for the delicious food and genuine island hospitality. Put it on your list for your next visit to Den Hoorn!
