Healthy eating
Good food is the fuel for performance. Inspired by the world of elite sport, we combine our love for delicious dishes with the power of healthy, sustainable food. Here at Papendal, the heart of Dutch top sport, we are in the kitchen every day creating dishes that are not only nourishing, but truly tasty.
Whether you choose an energising lunch, a well-balanced reception or a themed dinner, our dishes are developed with a focus on health, sustainability and, above all: experience.
The taste
of sports
“Restaurant Olympic Club and Papendal stand for honest food, local products, innovation and simplicity. We combine culinary creativity with the principles of elite sport – recovery, energy, balance – so you can effortlessly make healthy choices during your event.
No fuss, just pure flavours, thoughtfully prepared. This is how we make healthy food accessible, practical and, above all, delicious.”
Robbert Hulsteijn
Manager Topsport Kitchens, Hotel & Sports Centre Papendal
Food should
give you energy
Our vision is clear: food should energise, surprise, connect and be responsible.
That’s why we work with three recognisable themes that guide flavour, atmosphere and experience:
From the region
Pure, seasonal products from our local and regional suppliers. Think of artisanal meats, vegetables from nearby and authentic flavours from our own soil.
Road to Milano
An Italian-inspired theme with a twist. From fresh pastas and grilled vegetables to soft cheeses and pure tomato sauces. A tribute to the host country of the next Olympic Games: Italy.
Papendal Style
Our signature dishes. Seasonal dishes with ingredients from our own vegetable garden, complemented by products from local and regional suppliers. Creative, sporty and full of flavour. Exactly what you can expect from Papendal.
Every day, responsible choices
Together with Bakery Holleman we developed Broodnodig: four unique breads, each with its own purpose. From protein-rich to high-fibre, and from spelt to sourdough. This is how we bring the principles of elite sport to lunch, without compromising on taste.
We make our own jams and chutneys. Using fruit from our own vegetable garden at Papendal.
We smoke our salmon ourselves, with care and attention. The fresh salmon is delivered boneless, hand-brined and then cold-smoked in our oven. This keeps the flavours pure and preserves the delicate texture perfectly.
A well-filled lunch
Our lunch is all about vitality and flavour. You’ll taste the region on your plate: fresh vegetables from our own garden, local products and daily creations that give your group new energy. Think richly filled sandwiches and wraps, build-your-own salads and warm dishes prepared live by our chefs.
Restaurant Olympic Club is located on the first floor of Hotel Papendal, with a beautiful view over the greenery and the adjacent golf course. While you eat, you’ll see our kitchen team at work, and our hospitable staff ensures personal service. Prefer a practical lunch solution during a busy programme or for a large group? Then make use of our Grab & Go lunch.
Dinner: ending the day in style
End your day with a dinner that fits your event. From a light and healthy menu to a creative themed dinner. A dinner you can compose yourself, fully tailored to your taste and the atmosphere of your gathering. This way, we always create a dining experience that matches your moment.
