About The Blonde

Food tells you where you are
Wherever you go in the world, food tells you where you’ve landed. It’s more than just something to satisfy your hunger, it’s culture, history, family, memory, flavour, and human connection.
‍
Restaurant The Blonde exists to bring people together, to spark curiosity about local ingredients, and to inspire guests with its stunning setting: high on the dunes, surrounded by nature.
