Meet LIZZ*
At WSHS, culinary pampering is equivalent to telling a story. In this, fine dining restaurant LIZZ* offers quality in everything that stimulates the senses of our guests. It is a place where the most vulnerable human quality is nurtured: empathy. LIZZ surprises and pampers our guests. The refined dishes, surprising bites and mignardises that make your heart beat faster have an international twist and are prepared with responsible products that have a soul. This is done with great consideration for our environment and you will see that reflected on your plate. Meet LIZZ*!
Art is a way of Living
“We love art! The inspiration for the overall look and feel of Relais & Châteaux Weeshuis Gouda comes from Gouds Plateel, both matt and glossy glazed pottery that was made in Gouda.”
Gouds Plateel is unique and recognisable by its expressive use of colour, floral images – both abstract and recognisable – and solid lines. Among other things, you will find various prints and graphic shapes in the design and the colours and décor determine the atmosphere. Both in all our graphic designs, and in the interiors.
Arrive on Wednesday with a warm welcome on our terrace with a Gouda delicacy. Afterwards, you will take a look at the Plateelzaal in Museum Gouda. Afterwards, enjoy a night in our lovely rooms.
On Thursday, enjoy an extensive breakfast in our historic Regentenkamer. Afterwards, you will leave for Galerie De Hollandsche Maagd, where owner Anita will receive you for a creative painting lesson. After this creative day, enjoy your 2nd night in our rooms and start the day off right with our sumptuous breakfast.

WE LOVE IT CHEESY
“Sweet dreams are made of… CHEESE!”
Whoever says Gouda, says CHEESE! The famous GOUDA CHEESE is still made the traditional way in the polders surrounding the city. That’s where the cows are that give their milk for the cheese every day. From the polder, the farmers bring the cheeses to Gouda city centre, where they are traded at the cheese market. Enjoy two days of everything Gouda has to tell you about cheese!
Upon arrival, take a seat on our sunny terrace for a delicious cup of coffee/tea with a Gouda delicacy. Afterwards, enjoy at 15:00 a High Cheese in the Museum Café: Gouda’s high tea specialist! End the day with a peaceful night in our fine rooms.
Thursday morning, after breakfast, walk onto the Gouda Cheese Market, where you can enjoy the hearth games that appear. Afterwards, you will hop on an electric bike at Borghstijn for a beautiful route to cheese farm Schep in Bergambacht, where you can learn everything about making cheese.. The day ends, at 17:00, in a cheese tasting at ‘t Kaaswinkeltje Gouda, followed by a second overnight stay in one of our luxurious hotel rooms.

GASTRONOMY & GOUDA ALL THE WAY
“Behind the dishes there is a personality”
– Quote Excecutive Chef Remco Kuijpers –
In 2021, we opened Relais & Châteaux Weeshuis Gouda containing fine dining restaurant LIZZ*.
We were convinced of one thing, we wanted to offer quality in everything that stimulates the senses of our guests. It had to be a place where the most vulnerable human quality is nurtured: empathy. In doing so, we wanted to surprise and pamper people. So pulling out all the stops to make that happen.
This is how we approach Restaurant LIZZ* as a triptych. There is history, a rich history of the stately former Orphanage from 1542, a fascinating story. In addition, we have chosen a special interior, typically Gouds, because everything is inspired by Gouds Plateel. A private collection of the owners; Lennart and Sharon van Gastel. Then there are the dishes. A classic French cuisine, locally grounded with Eastern spices and fruit. And finally there are the wines, which have a traditional French base but, thanks to Louis, come from unexpected regions, countries and areas. Whatever is not too obvious, Louis finds interesting to present
