Opened in 2012, Thalassa 18 is Zandvoort’s fifth permanent year-round beach pavilion and an excellent addition to the city’s culinary scene. Although the modern, yet refined interior and the menu are reminiscent of France’s Côte d'Azur, its chef is a local Zandvoorter whose ancestors began their love affair with fish six generations earlier as herring sellers. All of the seafood is as fresh as can be and bought from sustainable sources, but if you absolutely must you can set aside convention and order a delicious steak. Naturally, the location on the beach is fantastic.
