Two Dutch restaurants receive two Michelin stars, seven receive their first
Two Dutch restaurants have been upgraded to two Michelin stars, while seven new establishments have earned their first star. Meanwhile, the city of Amsterdam lost two Michelin stars, and the guide has officially discontinued the issuance of Green Michelin stars for sustainability.
The Michelin Guide has announced its latest culinary honors for the Netherlands, awarding second stars to Azurite in Delft and Suis in Schin op Geul. Additionally, seven other establishments across the country, including locations such as Groningen, Hoog Soeren, Kortgene, Loenen aan de Vecht, Mierlo, Valkenburg, and Veeningen, received their first Michelin star. This brings the national total to 119 starred establishments, with De Librije in Zwolle maintaining its prestigious three-star status.
Conversely, the restaurant scene in Amsterdam experienced a decline, losing two stars as De Juwelier and Daalder were dropped from the list. The announcement also marked the end of the Green Michelin Star program, which previously recognized leaders in sustainable practices. This year marks a significant centennial milestone, celebrating one hundred years since the Michelin star system was first introduced in France, while acknowledging that the tradition of awarding stars in the Netherlands dates back to 1957.
