The story

Karel V in Goes: French Tasting Menu on the Old Harbour | Bib Gourmand

Karel V is a French restaurant at Turfkade 11 in Goes, listed with a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2026 for good quality, good value cooking.

Chef Leon's seasonal tasting menu

Chef Leon and his team write a tasting menu that changes with the seasons and follows what the produce offers. The kitchen aims for balance between flavour, texture and presentation in every course. This French cooking also holds a score of 13 in the 2026 Gault&Millau guide.

A house from 1555

The restaurant occupies one of the oldest buildings on the west side of the Goes old harbour, behind a late-Gothic facade. A town fire in 1554 destroyed most of the Turfkade, and only the cellars survived. Number 11 was rebuilt almost at once, and keystones inside carry the year 1555.
