11 Cheapest Michelin Star Restaurants in the Netherlands
Want to experience fine dining but don't have the budget to go all out? No problem, because there are plenty of affordable options in the Netherlands. Don't expect the price tag of a satay at your local pub, but rather reasonably priced chef's menus from Michelin-starred chefs. Extra budget tip: skip the wine pairing and opt for a single good glass, because you can save a lot of money on that too without sacrificing your enjoyment. These are the tastiest, cheapest Michelin-starred restaurants in the Netherlands.

11 Cheapest Michelin Star Restaurants in the Netherlands
From Kas
In Park Frankendael, you'll find De Kas, where almost all the food comes from their own greenhouse and is organic. In addition to a standard star rating, this unique spot also boasts a green star rating. Chefs Wim de Beer and Jos Timmer prefer to cook with vegetables and herbs, but they also occasionally work with meat and fish. A wonderful spot for lunch or dinner on the sunny terrace. A three-course lunch starts at around €50, with dinner starting at €70.

Cheval blanc
At Cheval Blanc in Heemstede, you're not just served any dish. No, they serve true works of art in the most beautiful colors. Chef Van der Velden has years of experience in the fine dining scene. The classic dishes (always with a twist) are just as special as the garnishes, sauces, and pairing wines.

Bistro de la Mer
On Utrechtsestraat in Amsterdam, you'll find Bistro de la Mer, owned by the same owners as Auberge and 212, among others. This Parisian-inspired bistro serves French classics from an à la carte menu. A three-course meal will set you back around €70. As the name suggests, they're experts with both fish and oysters – the large oyster bar is especially irresistible. For drinks, head to the nearby listening bar Cue, just down the street.

Restaurant de Basiliek
At the modern Restaurant de Basiliek in Harderwijk, you're in the right place for a fantastic lunch or dinner for €55 and €75 for three courses, respectively. Yornie van Dijk cooks up a storm, inspired by Nordic cuisine. The standard menu emphasizes vegetables, and many dishes have a tangy, tangy flavor.

Brass Farmer Home
In Zwolle, you can enjoy unique flavors at Brass Boer Thuis. The concept reflects the name: here they serve unique flavors with the ultimate goal of making you feel at home. The high-quality cuisine here stems from the founders: Thérèse and the recently deceased Jonnie Boer. They trained the team that learned the tricks of the trade from the grand master himself. A four-course surprise menu costs around €70.

Eden
The Garden of Eden does this place justice, because few places offer such creative cuisine as restaurant Eden in Waalre. Ever tried crow? At Eden, they know exactly what to do and continue to surprise you with unique ingredients and flavor sensations every time you visit.

The jeweler
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree here, as De Juwelier is on the same street as Bistro de la Mer (see above) and has the same owners. De Juwelier is sometimes called Bistro de la Mer's little sister, but its flavors are certainly just as good as those of Bistro de la Mer. Here, Yoran Jacobi cooks old forgotten dishes with a modern twist, using an à la carte menu. So you can go as wild as you like. On average, a three-course meal costs around €60.

The Woage
Transport yourself back in time to the incredibly picturesque village of Gramsbergen, located in the municipality of Hardenberg in the province of Overijssel. The dishes here are meticulously prepared and presented on your plate like a small work of art. Almost too beautiful to eat, but that would be a shame. They know how to transform seemingly simple Dutch classics into extraordinary creations. You can dine here for less than €70, with a four-course menu.

Lizz
At Lizz in Gouda, it's not about Gouda cheese, but about refined flavors. Lizz is part of the high-end Weeshuis hotel (which you're probably familiar with – the interior is phenomenal), but it's worth a visit even without a hotel stay. At Lizz, you dine in a conservatory, surrounded by plants that contrast pleasantly with the white tablecloths. Chef Remco Kuijpers cooks with ingredients from all over the world and a great love of Asian spices and flavors.

The Town Hall
This place is a must-visit during game season—at least if you're a meat eater. From game gravy to perfectly cooked venison, game lovers absolutely can't miss this place. The chef also knows how to use seasonal vegetables and other local ingredients. Either way, it's a truly enjoyable experience.

We're rounding out the YourLBB list with an ultimate classic in Amsterdam and the surrounding area: Zoldering, a place sometimes called a "neighborhood bistro" and truly capturing that atmosphere. Here, you'll find unfussy, high-quality food. Think farm chicken with matching wines, and other dishes that will truly delight anyone. A second location, Boon & de Koot, is opening soon in the Staatsliedenbuurt.

@eetcafe_de_reiger is the spot to remember.
Cozy, casual, and a seasonal menu. This one was on my list to share for a year and finally it's (almost) asparagus season again! 🤤
Another plus? Prices are very reasonable here!
📍 Eetcafé de Reiger
Jordaan, Amsterdam City Centre
Save this spot for when you're craving warm Dutch traditional dishes in the heart of Amsterdam.
And did you hear the same team took over Eetcafé van Beeren? I can't wait to go there too!

A cookbook from Grandma. Three Michelin stars. And a beautiful 70s villa in a quiet neighborhood in Bangkok, where you are welcomed as if you were at the chefs' home.
The Sühring brothers do not cook based on trends; they cook from memories. Of their grandmother's farm, of the flavors of their youth in Germany, and of techniques passed down through generations.
@relaischateaux invited me to experience Sühring during a solo lunch, and this is truly my ultimate definition of culinary self-care.
This was a surprising afternoon in Bangkok, where I ate the best German food I have ever tasted. And that in a city where I normally avoid European restaurants. Well, for @restaurant_suhring, you really want to make that exception.
Signature dishes that I still think back to regularly?
🍴 Labskaus with caviar
🍴 Enleta waffle with Pfalz vinegar
🍴 Game pie
🍴 Dry aged Duck
TIP: If you go to Sühring, reserve the seats at the kitchen bar so you have a view of the chefs at work!

In this reels I take you along for fine dining in Bangkok at the three Michelin starred restaurant Sühring.
This is one of the nicest free outings in the spring! Did you know that you can gather (or pick, for the connoisseurs 😉) oysters yourself in various places in the Netherlands? I’m in Zeeland for a bit this weekend, and if we can, we’ll go again.
📍In this video, I show where you can fill your bucket.
Comment oester for the comprehensive guide with all details about all 8 locations + handy tips and rules.
Important to know:
– Max. 10 kilos per person (≈ 1 bucket)
– For personal use only
– Do not scoop or scrape the soil
– Go at low tide
Handy to take with you:
Bucket, screwdriver, boots, work gloves, tea towel, clean clothes and garbage bags (for the oysters and dirty clothes).
And of course: also bring an oyster knife, lemon and champagne 🍋🥂Because you want to taste something right away!
The oyster season runs from September to about April / early May, so now that the water isn't so cold, this is the perfect outing.
In the full guide, I share exactly where you can easily find them without much effort. Leave a comment and I'll send it to you right away!
Who do you want to go oyster collecting with soon?

These are those few magical weeks each year when the city suddenly feels different. Everything is in bloom and all you want to do is be outside. Coffee to-go in hand, and just head out as soon as the sun shows up.

By mid-April most of the sakura will already be gone, so if you want to catch it: this is your moment.
I'll definitely be doing a few more rounds before it's over.

From a free event to try new Limited Subs at @ijveramsterdam to slow mornings, a market stroll (or two), maybe finally ticking off that new restaurant that's been on your list for weeks… and ending somewhere with a good glass of wine while telling yourself “just one more” 😉

Not too big,
everything within walking distance,
But plenty of nice hotspots!!
These services (and what clothing) are in the Netherlands perfuse for you to tip this line!
I've got massive spring fever, so it's time for a mini-escape: everything is within walking distance, there are lovely coffee shops, boutiques for shopping, and enough gems to discover in 48 hours ✨

It wouldn't be Amsterdam if the weekend wasn't packed with plans. Spring is in the air and I feel like new hotspots are popping up all over the city. HELLO @ottolenghi & @ottolenghi_amsterdam :-)
And yes, market season is officially back. Think vintage finds, design treasures and sunny terrace stops in between.
Plus, plenty of feel-good plans: from a Korean Sunday brunch @nikotin.restobar to a kid-proof pizza nights.
