Upon entering Roef, you immediately feel the inspiration of the Spring Garden of owner Eshwin Boetting's grandfather. The green influences are everywhere and you can taste it in the dishes. Just opened in Fall 2025, it embodies the fusion of neighborhood feel and international cuisine influences, with small bites that lean heavily on local ingredients.
The driving force behind Roef is Eshwin Boetting. His vision to create a place that acts as an extension of the neighborhood comes from personal experiences and stories. He draws inspiration from memories of the garden of his youth, where fresh and local produce played the leading role. These stories are now tangible in every dish that comes out of Roef's kitchen.
Although the menu does not shy away from international cuisine, seasonal ingredients take center stage. The idea of fresh recipes is not just a marketing term here, but literally tasted back. The kitchen offers a variety of small dishes that bet on shared dining. It is this diversity that gives Roef its appeal; an evening here feels like a journey through different culinary delights.
Roef brings Grandfather Boetting's garden to life, with an ambiance full of local flavors and stories.
Whether you live nearby or are a lover of culinary adventures, Roef offers a place where everyone feels welcome. This dining experience provides a fresh, new take on local cuisine by intertwining nostalgia and modern flavors. Experience it for yourself and step inside this new neighborhood gem on the Middenweg.
