Michelin-starred 2

Kesselhaus

★ Michelin€€€€Creative, Modern Cuisine

Located on an industrial estate, this distinctive building makes for a cool setting. The attractive space rocks an industrial look: out front, there is a lovely terrace next to a striking brick chimney; inside, a loft atmosphere reigns. Diners sit beneath high ceilings, surrounded by exposed brick walls, tall mullioned windows and chic design features such as the solid wood "Center Table" and comic art on the walls. While Randy de Jong and his team create a modern, seasonal, ingredient-led set menu based on just a few key components (for example, pikeperch, shallot, pumpkin, bergamot or sweetb

★ Michelin€€€€Creative, Modern Cuisine

Three areas – "Iko-Flowers", "Iko-Atelier" and "Iko-Restaurant" – have been successfully created here.

Bib Gourmand 2

Regional Friesoythe

Bib Gourmand€€German, Seasonal Cuisine

"Regional" is more than just a name; it's a guiding philosophy in this tradition-steeped town-centre restaurant, run by Timo Plenter and Ina Stuke since September 2022. The chef-patron draws on locally sourced seasonal ingredients, and partners with regional suppliers to craft his flavourful dishes. There is a four- to six-course set menu, which also comes in a vegetarian version. A cheese course can be added on. The interior decor marries modern and rustic elements. Warm and attentive service. In summer, a few tables are set up in front of the restaurant for al fresco dining.

Landgoed de Holtweijde

Bib Gourmand€€Creative French

Classic country elegance and a setting radiating natural charm await you at this stunning estate. Inside, the wooden beams, terracotta floor and crackling fire create a special atmosphere. Regional ingredients come into their own in indulgent dishes. The tasting menu is outstanding, but the à la carte options – such as the classic tournedos Rossini – are equally tempting. For example, chef Berry Thüss serves a terrine of succulent short rib and white leek, with crispy asparagus tempura, al dente vegetables and an onion dressing. Definitely worth the journey!
