Full List : Michelin Guide for the Netherlands 2018

There is a new three Michelin stars restaurant!

The Michelin Guide to the Netherlands 2018, the last Guide of the year, has been released and the big news is that there is a new three Michelin stars restaurant.

Inter Scaldes in Kruiningen has been open since 1977 and has, amazingly, been waiting for its third Michelin star since 1984. The kitchen, helmed by chef Jannis Brevet, tuens out local produce inspired by both land and sea. This means the Netherlands now has three Michelin star restaurants: Inter Scaldes, De Leest and De Librije.

There are no new two star restaurants this year, but six new one-star restaurants, meaning the Netherlands now has a total of 108 Michelin-starred restaurants.

Restaurant Inter Scaldes in the Zeeland village of Kruiningen has become the third Dutch restaurant to be awarded a prestigious third Michelin stars. The Michelin guide group announced the new star ratings for the Netherlands in Amsterdam on Monday.
‘We’ve worked for this for a long, long time,’ said Claudia Brevet of the husband and wife team who run the restaurant. ‘It’s been about blood, sweat and tears… but the result is worth it.’ Inter Scaldes won its first Michelin star in 1978 and has had a second since 1984. Jannis Brevet took over the kitchen in 2001.
Michelin international director Michael Ellis praised the Brevet for the ‘way he uses first-class regional products’ and his ‘stunning alliances of taste’. De Leest in Vaassen and De Librije in Zwolle both held on to their three stars.
There was no increase in the number of two star restaurants in the Netherlands this year. But two, including Bord’eau in Amsterdam, lost one of theirs, taking the total down to 16.
Six restaurants won their first star. Of which, The Duchess, Le Restaurant and The Whiteroom in Amsterdam, AIRRepublic in Cadzand, Fitzgerald in Rotterdam and Vista in Willemstad. In total, the Netherlands has 108 restaurants with at least one Michelin star.
