De Treeswijkhoeve

★★ Michelin€€€€Creative

Dick Middelweerd's cuisine defies categorisation. He is a chef who embraces daring combinations and contrasts. His creativity is boundless, yet always grounded in a deep respect for tradition. Drawing on Asian influences, he seeks out umami notes and extra depth. Kick off your meal with crispy-seared calf sweetbreads with a coffee glaze, accompanied by a rich veal jus infused with Oloroso sherry and finished with an ethereal coffee foam and winter truffle. And why not finish with a miso crème brûlée with toasted rice ice cream and various textures of green apple with sake? It's all possible he

Located in central Eindhoven, Wiesen is a Michelin-starred restaurant noted for high-quality, beautifully presented dishes like scallops and duck. While many praise the 8-course tasting menu and attentive, well-paced service, some critics find the food lacks a 'wow' factor or suffer from imbalanced seasoning. The intimate, well-decorated space is cozy but small. Value perceptions vary significantly; some view the lunch menu as affordable fine dining, while others criticize the wine prices and overall cost-effectiveness. Booking communication is generally smooth, though occasional issues with wine availability or selection processes occur.

Bib Gourmand€€Turkish

Nilay Taşkıntuna and her team invite you to discover a fresh take on Turkish cuisine.

However, he also likes to incorporate Asian and Middle Eastern influences into his cooking – it is his set menu that really showcases his creativity.

Unadulterated piquancy and finesse, unyielding to Western palates, and imbued with a touch of refinement by the chef, who represents the third generation at the helm. He makes just about everything in-house, from the spicy chicken broths to the fiery chilli oils, guaranteeing bold flavours. Whenever feasible, he procures ingredients from the vicinity.

De Luytervelde

€€€Farm to table, Modern Cuisine

Karin Smits is the heart and soul of De Luytervelde. She has been welcoming guests at this converted farmhouse (1912) just outside the city centre since 1992. Diners are smitten with the stylish decor and delightful garden terrace, but the main focus remains, of course, the modern interpretation of classic flavours and the well-curated wine list. The chef will expertly fry a veal sweetbread until golden brown and knock up a robust sauce Périgueux, but he is just as adept at giving venison an exotic twist with five-spice powder. A perennial favourite!

Reverie

€€€Modern Cuisine, Indonesian

United by a shared passion, Stuart and Luca, who met at hotel school, have turned their dream into reality with this sleek, intimate and rather minimalist restaurant. The bonsai tree in the middle of the dining space is a nod to the Far Eastern-inspired cuisine they serve. In the evening, they propose two set menus: "Taste of Reverie" and "Indonesian Menu". Drawing on classic French foundations, they add the sweetness and piquancy of Asian seasonings. The perfectly pan-seared duck fillet is accompanied, for instance, by an intense duck jus infused with the heat and slight sweetness of finely c
