Dining in Brenazet
The French concept of table d’hôtes literally means: sitting together at the table with the host and hostess. We often hear it said that it’s not always easy to eat vegetarian in France. However, at Brenazet, you are very welcome to enjoy a completely vegetarian meal. The vegetables come as much as possible from our own vegetable garden and are grown with care and without the use of pesticides.
What can you expect? A communal dinner with the other guests, in a relaxed and convivial atmosphere. On warm summer days, we eat outside in the courtyard, with a panoramic view of the woods and meadows where Charolais cows graze. Swallows circle above the farmhouse as the sky slowly changes color and the day fades into evening.
When it’s too chilly to eat outside, we welcome you to the original living quarters of the Brenazet farmhouse. We call this charming space « the Gravenzaal » (the Counts’ Hall) because of its volcanic stone floor. The Gravenzaal in the town hall of Haarlem – our former residence – has a similar floor. It feels like dining in a castle hall.
Exclusively for guests of the nature reserve (safari tents and round tent), we offer the open-fire cooking activity.
Cost: €50 per family (4 people, please book in advance).

What our guests say…
We ate some of the loveliest food, from « pizza, pizza, pizza » to homegrown salads and green smoothies. Our 4 year old had the run of the place, making friends with kids and animals alike, jumping and swinging on the trampolines and hammock under the big walnut tree. Brénazet is a wonderful place for children to be children and grownups to switch off from digital distractions and join in the fun. Try the pony trekking for kids on the gentlest ponies, let Ron guide you on a river canoeing adventure and take a dip in the natural pool. This was a break we will be talking about for a long time.

We just wanted to let you know that we’re still enjoying our wonderful week with you! The children are still telling their grandparents about it.
It’s great to read the flyer about Wellness Week! I hope it’s going to be a wonderful week.
