Velp, GLD

The Origin of Our Culinary Movement

A Place with a Story

Tucked away on a quiet side street in the charming town of Velp (GLD), Down to Earth Dining adds a distinctive voice to the local culinary scene of this calm yet vibrant village.

Situated between the forested landscapes of the Veluwe and the urban energy of Arnhem, our restaurant offers the perfect setting for a surprising evening out.

Housed in a historic building that has served as a café, a hotel, and—ironically—a butcher’s shop, we passionately showcase the full range of vegetables and fruits the Netherlands has to offer.
