In the heart of Den Hoorn, on Herenstraat and right behind the iconic white church, you’ll find Brasserie Loodsmans. It’s the kind of place where you immediately understand why people say Den Hoorn is such an atmospheric village. Narrow streets, historic facades, and a calm, almost timeless vibe 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’s not a huge place, but that’s exactly what makes it so cosy and personal. The menu is compact but well thought-out. You can tell they choose quality and care over quantity.
TexelFans tip
The spareribs here are highly recommended. Perfectly cooked, with a rich, spicy flavour and beautifully tender. But you really should also try the spicy oven-baked mushrooms. A delicious vegetarian dish with enough heat to keep you curious – and honestly, pretty addictive.
Texel-style hospitality
What makes Brasserie Loodsmans extra special is the team. Hospitality is central here, but in true Texel style: relaxed and unpretentious. A quick chat, a good tip, or a local suggestion for your day on the island – it all happens 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 makes your trip to this part of Texel complete. Whether you live on the island or are getting away for the weekend, this is the kind of place you’ll remember.
In short: Brasserie Loodsmans proves that the south of Texel isn’t just about the landscape – it’s also about good food and genuine island hospitality. Put it on your list for your next visit to Den Hoorn!
