About Natuurlijk
Natuurlijk is a venue in Egmond aan Zee with casual dress and a 2025 We're Smart World recognition of 2 Radishes. The most useful practical details are straightforward: it is closed Monday and Tuesday, open Wednesday through Friday from 12–9 PM, open Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM–9 PM.
Choose the meal window that fits the posted hours
For a first visit, plan around the published opening times rather than assuming a specific menu format or service style. Wednesday through Friday, the hours run from 12–9 PM. Saturday and Sunday, the hours run from 10 AM–9 PM. Monday and Tuesday are closed.
The safest expectation is a casual visit in Egmond aan Zee, with details such as menu, booking, special requests checked directly with the venue before you go.
The right expectation: casual, with a clear recognition
The 2025 We're Smart World 2 Radishes recognition is the key trust signal for Natuurlijk. It is useful context when deciding whether the venue belongs on a short list, but it should not be stretched into claims about a particular menu, price level, chef, or service format.
That distinction helps with the decision. If the occasion needs a more specifically defined style, compare against Apicius or Rue de la Plume before committing. If the priority is a casual stop in Egmond aan Zee with a We're Smart World mention, Natuurlijk is the relevant option to check.
Plan the wider Egmond aan Zee stop around the meal
Use the posted hours as the anchor for the day. Since Natuurlijk is closed Monday and Tuesday, the practical planning window is Wednesday through Sunday. Weekend hours start earlier, while Wednesday through Friday begin at 12 PM.
If the search is broader, keep other venues in view only as separate comparisons rather than assuming they share the same location or format. Apicius, Granville, LadyPapa, Restaurant 't Stokpaardje, Rue de la Plume may be useful reference points depending on the kind of meal you want, while other dining in Egmond aan Zee can be considered generically for a different fit.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Natuurlijk presents a place-driven, quietly charming seaside experience. Set on the edge of the North Sea in a small fishing village, the restaurant foregrounds the local landscape: vegetables come from organic farmers and the venue's own dune-reserve garden, while fish is MSC-certified and chicken is pasture-raised. That rigorous sourcing informs both the menu and the mood—earthy, restrained and attentive to provenance. The tone is not flashy; it is rooted in the rhythms of harvest and catch, which creates a serene, authentic coastal setting that favors thoughtful cooking over culinary posturing.
Best For
Natuurlijk suits family meals, group dining, casual hangouts and celebrations that prize seasonal, responsibly sourced food. Its coastal location and garden-sourced produce make it a natural choice for diners who appreciate ingredients tied to place—families can enjoy approachable seafood and vegetable-forward options, groups can explore a varied menu spanning MSC-certified fish to plant-based specialties, and small celebrations benefit from the considered, local-focus cuisine. The restaurant reads as a destination for anyone seeking a meaningful, regionally anchored meal rather than a purely formal dining experience.
Ordering Tips
Prioritize dishes that highlight the restaurant’s garden and coastal sourcing: ask which vegetables were harvested from the dune-reserve garden that day and choose MSC-labeled seafood for sustainably sourced fish. The menu also features distinctive plant-based items—Dutch Weed Burger, Vegan Wok, Jackfruit Rendang and Vegan Kroketten—so consider sampling those alongside fish or the Kemper Landhoen chicken when available. Because the kitchen emphasizes ripeness and provenance, asking about today’s best harvests will steer you to the most flavorful options and give you a clearer sense of the restaurant’s seasonal focus.
