i visited de kas in march 2024 and got the 4 course lunch menu.
appetizers:
– beet gazpacho
– tapioca chips with celery mayo
– sourdough with whipped porcini butter
– raw radishes in a creamy ginger sauce and a seedy breadcrumb mix
– cabbage and pickled ginger spring rolls
lunch courses:
– beets, basil, and burrata
– scallops, bass, butter beans, and saffron mayo
– roasted cauliflower and some sort of nut foam
– bay leaf and lemon sorbet with candied lemon and an almond madeleine
desserts:
– caneles with vanilla creme pat
– chocolate-rhubarb sorbet
i genuinely appreciated the absence of a meat course. it meant that i walked away from the lunch feeling completely satisfied, without feeling weighed down.
the service was quite average; there were a few moments where we couldn't get our waiter's attention and the pacing of each course was a tad slow. but i think their overall concept is strong – guests can tour the greenhouse and see the produce that is used in the dishes. and i was pleasantly surprised with all the extra dishes outside of the set courses.
i would love to try their dinner menu someday (with the hope that the celery mayo is a part of it – it was delicious and one of my favorite parts of the meal.)

I had the lunch at De Kas at the end of November. It was my first meal at a fine dining establishment and I’d echo what you said. The service wasn’t quite as fast or snappy as I expected but it was a great experience overall.
Our desert was an ice cream with lemon zest and it was one of the best things I’ve ever tasted.
Great value for the lunch menu and it gets you to a great part of town most tourists don’t go to.
