Michelin stars awarded to 13 Dutch restaurants this year

Ten Dutch restaurants got their first Michelin stars on Monday, and three got a second star. The new stars were awarded in the DeLaMar Theater in Amsterdam, bringing the total number of restaurants with a star up to 117. There are no new three-star restaurants in the Netherlands. 

The only two restaurants with the highest honor of three Michelin stars held on to the prestigious accomplishment. Those areInter Scaldes in Kruisningen from Claudia and Jannis Brevet and De Librije in Zwolle from Therese and Jonnie Boer.

Three restaurants received their second Michelen star this year: Flore in Amsterdam from Bas van Kranen, Julemon in Wittem from Guido Braeken, and De Nieuwe Winkel in Nijmegen from Emile van der Staak. The latter was awarded its first star just last year.

Restaurant De Juwelier in Amsterdam was the first new restaurant to receive its one star designation on Monday. Its chef, Yoran Jacobi, also won the Young Chef Award. Pikaar in Hilvarenbeek, Zoldering in Amsterdam, Atelier in Gulpen, Alma in Oisterwijk, Lars Amsterdam in the capital, Vigor in Vught, 't Ganzenest in Rijswijk, Noor in Groningen, and De Kas in Amsterdam were the others. 

De Kas chef, Jos Timmer, was at the award with his young son because he could not get a babysitter. He left moments before his restaurant's first Michelin star was announced to put his toddler in bed. Wim de Beer accepted the prize, but Timmer and his son returned and joined De Beer on stage about five minutes later. They posed for a photo together. 

Malou Hagenaars won the Sommelier Award for the restaurant Alma in Oisterwijk. Three more restaurants were also awarded a green star for their dedication to sustainability - Heron in Utrecht, Triptyque in Wateringen, and Flore in Amsterdam. Last year, eight restaurants received the distinction for the first time, including De Librije and De Kas.

Eight restaurants also lost a star this year, according to the Michelin Guide. These include Bord’Eau and Vermeer in Amsterdam, the Bussum restaurant Soigné, Restaurant Basiliek in Harderwijk, long-time star holder Posthoorn in Monnickendam, De Loohoeve in Schoonloo, OONIVOO in Uden, and Valuas in Venlo.

The Michelin star is the biggest globally recognized award for restaurants with excellent cuisine and service. A restaurant can get a maximum of three stars. Before Monday, the Netherlands counted two restaurants with three Michelin stars, eighteen with two stars, and 93 with one star. After the award ceremony, the country still has two restaurants with three stars, 21 with two stars, and 94 with one star.

Restaurants which were honored in an online celebration last year were given a chance to take the stage on Monday in front of the gathered crowd at DeLaMar. The 2021 ceremony was moved to an online presentation during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Michelin stars date from 1957, when tire manufacturer Michelin tried to stimulate car use by pointing motorists to good restaurants and hotels in its Michelin guide. One star meant the cuisine was of high quality and worth a stop. Two stars meant the cuisine was of excellent quality and worth a detour. Three stars meant the cuisine was exceptional, and the restaurant can be considered a travel destination in its own right. 

Werner Loens, director of the Michelin Guide for the Benelux area, told NU.nl that today's Michelin inspectors use the same criteria to assess a dish, taking into account the quality and taste, as well as the chef's competency and creativity in the use of the ingredients. The level of the dish must also be consistent at all times of every day. A restaurant receives at least four visits by different inspectors throughout a year before it receives a rating.
