The name
The restaurant's title, "Tante Koosje," derives from Mrs. Koosje Edema, a well-known local figure in Loenen aan de Vecht. After her passing in 1958, efforts to demolish her residence were stopped following public opposition, which led to its restoration. The municipality referred to the building as "Het huis van Tante Koosje" (The House of Auntie Koosje), a name that was eventually adopted for the restaurant.
