Niemeijer

Creative French · Bib

€€

Janick and Leonie Niemeijer's light and airy restaurant is lively, yet has a distinctly natural and serene feel to it. The couple have put together an extensive à la carte menu and take great pride in their garden, from which they source vegetables and honey, among other produce. These are showcased in creative dishes that often incorporate a nod to Dutch culinary tradition. For instance, the chef glazes locally farmed duck in honey from his own apiary and roasts it to a perfect medium-rare. He serves it with various textures of kale, a sauerkraut jus, red cabbage compote, purée of Oudwijker F

Having sold De Loohoeve, Marleen and Jeroen Brouwer moved a little further north to Groningen, where they have given the Theresiakapel a facelift. The simplicity of the chapel has been preserved, as have the beautiful stained-glass windows, which are now complemented by a stylish interior design. This is no run-of-the-mill restaurant: upon entering, you are led through the state-of-the-art kitchen. The two chefs have joined forces in the kitchen to better express their creativity. It was already clear that their originality and sense of inventiveness knew no bounds, and here at Noor they conti

Set in a former warehouse by the picturesque Noorderhaven, this relaxed "brew-bistro" offers a delightful blend of pub atmosphere and attentive service. When you first enter, you will be greeted by the aroma of freshly brewed beer and the sight of towering brewing kettles. The kitchen team pushes the boundaries, effortlessly weaving between the classic and creative. From steak tartare with an Asian twist to melt-in-your-mouth pork cheeks with dukkah and sesame seeds, this cuisine is vibrant and imaginative. The house beers perfectly complement the dishes, adding a personal touch. What a place!

De Haan

Three friends have come up with an original concept: they prepare a single set menu in their open kitchen, serve the dishes themselves thus dispensing with the services of any additional waitstaff. Diners are responsible for getting their own bread and beverages. The chefs enthusiastically explain in detail how they creatively combine complex flavours. They do not shy away from contrasts, but always maintain the right balance. With a vegetarian Stroganoff – intensified by a sophisticated sauce based on Madeira, port and red wine – the chefs showcase their prowess.

Nassau

A centuries-old beamed ceiling, glossy parquet flooring, sleek furniture design and views of the beautiful Prinsentuin walled garden – you really dine in style at Groningen's Nassau. The chef knows the importance of an intense sauce and loves working with top-notch produce such as langoustine and Anjou pigeon, which he showcases in elaborate dishes. For instance, he elevates hamachi, along with a medley of vegetables and seasonings, with a Thai-style sauce made with miso, coconut and lemongrass. His plant-based creations are equally remarkable.

Hanasato exudes the understated simplicity associated with Japanese culinary culture. The kitchen follows the Washoku tradition, upholding authenticity and the celebrated subtlety of East Asian cuisine. Expect dishes such as sashimi made with ultra-fresh fish and served with fresh wasabi and a full-bodied soy sauce, or umami-rich chawanmushi with a rich, complex dashi. Be sure to try the shabu shabu – diners cook thinly sliced vegetables, meat and rice by dipping them into a rich broth. This is Japanese cuisine that leaves a lasting impression. Please note that the six-course set menu or the à
