Last Sunday we were invited by the Maaltuin to eat at the air base in Soesterberg. A surprising experience, in which we were taken into the military past behind this base while eating and drinking.
Getting to know the place better
Via different characters, you get to know the place a bit better. At different points, you’ll find voice- memos where these characters take you back to a moment from years ago. In addition we thoroughly enjoyed the walk through nature, the hidden “bar” in the bunker in which the story of the past was retold (while we sipped on a homemade spicy cocktail), the old photos we’ve got to see and the different dishes all inspired by its environment.
Carefully selected dishes
Not only the location, but also the food was an experience in itself. You can taste that the ingredients have been carefully selected to make for a beautiful recipe. That is why our visit to the airbase was not only a gift for the eyes, but also one for our taste buds. Due to the matching wines; they make the food taste even better and are lovingly coordinated with each other. Any dietary restrictions or not a fan of wine (or alcohol)? This can also be taken into account.
So in our opinion: this concept is an high-flyer and something you should want to experience. Because how cool is it to eat in an old F15 Hangar?!
