For special events such as Restaurant Weeks, New Year's Eve, or Valentine's Day, different reservation times may apply. These will be listed separately in each case.

Please arrive on time for your reservation.

If a reservation is canceled within 24 hours of the reservation date, or in the event of a no-show, a cancellation fee will be charged per person.

Please refer to our reservation widget or your booking confirmation for the current cancellation fee amount.

Separate cancellation policies apply to group reservations and special events.

Unannounced reductions in the number of guests will also result in a cancellation fee. Please inform us as early as possible.

Changes may be possible depending on availability. Please contact us as soon as possible if you would like to change your reservation. You can also make changes to your reservation yourself using the booking confirmation you received by email.

Menu & Concept

We serve a 6-course Chef's Choice course. Each course is part of a carefully coordinated sequence and is based on select ingredients and subtle details.

There is no à la carte menu.

You can find more information about our menu here.

The 6-course Chef's Choice menu is prepared by our Executive Chef Daan de Val and is regularly adapted to feature seasonal and regional ingredients.
Each course is part of an overall composition and is personally presented and explained by our head chef.

There is no à la carte menu.

No. We offer only our 6-course Chef's Choice menu. The individual courses are designed to form a cohesive sequence and are therefore not available à la carte.

No. At DEVAL, we offer only the full 6-course menu, as each course is part of the overall dining experience.

You can enjoy our set menu with meat or as a completely vegetarian option. If possible, please let us know your preferred menu option when you make your reservation, as we prepare our set menu exclusively on a reservation basis and, unfortunately, cannot accommodate changes made on-site.

Depending on the season, you also have the option of adding a fish course to our vegetarian menu (pescatarian). If you would like this option, please let us know during the reservation process.

We do not currently offer a vegan menu.

No, we do not currently offer a vegan menu.

Intolerances & nutrition

Please indicate any allergies, intolerances, or special dietary requirements in the “Special Requests” field when making your reservation.

We review each request on a case-by-case basis together with our head chef. Since we cannot accommodate all allergies, food intolerances, and dietary requirements, the following questions provide an overview of which restrictions we can accommodate and which we cannot.

Depending on the nature and extent of the restriction, we may be able to adjust our menu. We can only provide you with a definitive answer after reviewing your specific request.

As early as possible, but no later than 72 hours (during our business hours) before your reservation, so that we can check whether it can be rescheduled.

Please let us know as soon as possible, but no later than 72 hours before your reservation (during our business hours). This will give us enough time to work with our chef to determine whether and how the requested change to your meal plan can be accommodated.

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer a completely gluten-free menu or accommodations for celiac disease, as we cannot prepare certain components of our menu in a way that is both completely gluten-free and meets our standards for taste and quality.

We’d be happy to prepare a low-gluten version of our set menu for you if you let us know in advance, and we’ll serve it with our homemade gluten-free bread.

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer a completely lactose-free menu, as it is not possible to completely remove lactose from our menu while maintaining the taste and quality experience we strive for.

We’d be happy to prepare a low-lactose version of our menu for you, provided you give us advance notice. Whenever possible, we’ll do our best to replace lactose-containing ingredients in each course.

Please let us know in advance if this preparation method is acceptable to you and if you would like to keep your reservation.

We generally cannot fully accommodate a celery allergy, as celery is an essential ingredient in our cuisine.
If the allergy pertains exclusively to fresh celery used as an ingredient consumed directly, we’ll be happy to check whether an adjustment is possible for the respective course. However, we cannot completely rule out celery in processed form.

We generally cannot fully accommodate an onion allergy, as onions are an essential part of our cuisine.
If the allergy applies exclusively to fresh onions used as an ingredient consumed directly, we’ll be happy to see if we can make an adjustment for that particular course. However, we cannot completely rule out onions in processed form.

We make every effort to accommodate individual needs. Our menu can be adjusted accordingly; however, we ask for your understanding that it is not possible to create a completely separate menu for individual dietary requirements in each case. For example, if you can only eat poultry, we can substitute courses featuring other types of meat for the vegetarian options, but we cannot put together a custom “poultry menu.”

Since meat is often served medium-rare in our set menus, we will substitute the corresponding courses with our vegetarian alternatives upon request. Courses in which the meat is served well-done anyway can be offered as usual. This results in a mixed set menu consisting of both meat and vegetarian courses.

In addition, we would like to point out that in our kitchen—particularly in sauces—small amounts of alcohol are sometimes used as a flavor enhancer. The alcohol used is generally heated or reduced over an extended period of time. However, we cannot guarantee that all alcohol will be completely removed, and the kitchen is not always able to substitute these ingredients.

We would like to provide you with this information in advance in a transparent manner so that you can decide for yourself whether our menu is suitable for you during your pregnancy. Please let us know if you are pregnant when you make your reservation.

Drinks

No, drinks are not included in the menu price and are selected separately.

However, you can decide on the spot whether you would like to order and enjoy our coordinated wine accompaniment to the menu. You can find the prices here.
