This restaurant is south of Amsterdam inside a boutique hotel. Wilco Berends, the chef at this Michelin star restaurant prefers to cook with regional and seasonal ingredients.

Some signature dishes are the oyster which is selected by the chef himself. The North Sea Crab with perfectly balanced flavors and aromas. To finish it off, a soufflé. Wilco Berends comes and explains his style preparing, cooking, and reasons behind when you have this ordered.

Ratatouille Food & Wine
Situated in Haarlem, is the restaurant Ratatouille. Like you would expect from the name, it would be a French-based cuisine. The thought behind this cuisine is a touch of today with excellent value for money. Upon receiving their star, Michelin explained it belongs to a newer generation of chefs and restaurants, which is less expensive, less stiff and better accessible. Their wine menu has over 460 choices of wine, and they only have the best seasonal products available.
Haarlem is only a short distance away from Amsterdam, going out of your way for this restaurant is well worth it for a gastronomic experience of the modern French cuisine.

Olivijn
Olivijn is where art meets the gastronomical experience at high levels. Even though the exquisite taste, the chef Menno Post, thinks it’s important to be yourself. Their restaurant is a home-like feeling and ambiance. The chef would present the menu himself to you and a sommelier would recommend exciting tastes of wines that would fit together with your dishes.
Menno only cooks with meat original which is sourced as close to home as possible. Fish from the North Sea and as much as possible biological organic produced ingredients.
I like that this restaurant is sustainable with its products and avoids the use of plastic.
