Sushi in Balistraat

The Archipel is yet another good and congenial restaurant the richer: Sushi Morikawa.

It is a genuine Japanese establishment. Of very high quality, serving exceptional dishes (again really Japanese), with a pleasant, relaxed ambience with tranquil classical Japanese music playing in the background and the most cordial

There is a pleasant eating counter typical of restaurants in Japan, where you can watch the sushi chef preparing the food. And just like in Japan (but something never experienced in the Netherlands), plenty of green tea on the house.

Takeaway is also an option for a veritable feast at home (or in the summer on the beach). In short, a genuine and congenial addition to the culinary richness available in the neighbourhood that everyone should know about!

Mallemolen’s gain - Restaurant Mochi

After a top-to-toe makeover in Mallemolen, which has taken months, the restaurant Mochi is finally open. The former Djawa restaurant premises is unrecognizable. A bar covered in copper and an interior combining wood, steel, natural stone and glass, with features such as an imposing wooden mosaic, a huge wine-rack, a water-feature and unique wall lamps designed by a Chinese artist.

The terrace furnished with comfortable wooden seating and cushions has been open since July. To the right of the restaurant proper, is a bar for quick snacks or takeaway.

Mochi was formerly located on Hooigracht for three years and is listed in three top restaurant guides: Special Bite, Lekker and Gault Millau.

Japanese-Latin cuisine

Mochi serves a combination of Japanese and Latin cuisine with a large selection of small dishes featuring tantalizing tastes presented on separate plates. This encourages diners to sample one another’s choices and certainly gets the conversation going, says chef Patrick Buyze. The interesting matching of food and extraordinary wines is the result of time spent abroad and the influence of co-partner and wife Lissette, originally from Colombia.

Mochi also does party catering on location or in your home. In the summer they have an arrangement with the beach bar Whoosah Beach Club on Zwarte Pad

The restaurant kitchen is open every day from 18.00 but guests wishing to have just a relaxing drink are welcome earlier. There is a set menu from €28.50 per person and good news for smokers: the terrace will remain open during the winter months and of course will be heated.
