Why Brasserie Quinty’s in De Koog is absolutely worth a visit!

A bracing walk on the beach, blowing away the cobwebs in the dunes and then a long, relaxed dinner. Right in the heart of De Koog you’ll find a place where good company and great food come together: Brasserie Quinty’s.

If you stroll down the Dorpsstraat in De Koog, you can hardly miss Quinty’s. This atmospheric brasserie has been a Texel favourite since 2006 and keeps reinventing itself.

Step inside and you’ll discover a surprisingly charming restaurant. Different rooms, cosy corners and a spacious conservatory mean you can enjoy yourself here just as much as a couple as with friends or family. Despite its size, the restaurant feels warm and personal.

And that’s not just down to the interior. The enthusiastic staff play a big part too. With a friendly smile, personal attention and plenty of enthusiasm, the team makes you feel at home in no time. Hospitality clearly comes first here.

A full dinner or a table full of bites?

What makes Quinty’s special is the freedom to put together your own dinner.

Fancy a classic three-course meal? No problem. But if you love discovering different flavours, the extensive bites menu is your playground.

These smaller dishes are perfect for sharing, but just as tasty to enjoy on your own. Think crispy Beng Beng prawns, crispy gyoza, steak tartare or slow-cooked Texel lamb.

The best part? You don’t have to choose between bites and traditional dishes. While one person enjoys a lovely Texel beef steak, another combines several small plates. It all works at the same table.

From Texel produce to flavours from around the world

The kitchen at Quinty’s draws inspiration from flavours from all over the world, often with a Texel twist.

How about Texel lamb slow-cooked for 24 hours, a flavourful Indonesian rendang or tender Iberico ribs? There’s also plenty of choice for fish lovers and vegetarians.

And if you think bites are only for starters, think again. You can easily turn them into a complete dinner. Order several dishes, taste together and discover something new along the way: that’s exactly what makes an evening at Quinty’s so enjoyable.

A good glass of wine or a surprising cocktail

The drinks menu is impressive too. Quinty’s has an extensive wine selection, from easy-drinking house wines to special bottles for anyone who loves to try something new.

Prefer a cocktail? Then there’s plenty to choose from: classics, creative twists and gin and tonics, including combinations with Texel gin.

Round off the evening with a dessert, an espresso martini or a good glass of wine.

A cosy evening in the heart of De Koog

What makes Quinty’s so appealing is the combination of an atmospheric interior, a surprising menu and a relaxed, welcoming vibe.

The enthusiastic team completes the picture. Whether you drop by for a quick bite, a fun night out with friends or a long dinner, you’ll be welcomed with the same warmth.

Whether you’re on Texel for a weekend, on holiday with the family or simply want a nice evening out: at Quinty’s you can dine at your leisure without it ever feeling formal.

And that might just be the best thing about this brasserie. You decide how elaborate you make it, but it’s guaranteed to be a great evening.
