De Nieuwe Winkel
Two Michelin stars and a Green Star. Chef Emile van der Staak creates an almost entirely vegan tasting menu using ingredients from a food forest.
Founded in 2011 by chef Emile van der Staak, the restaurant earned its first Michelin star in 2021 and its second in 2022, and it has retained a Green Star. In 2023 it was named the World’s Best Plant-Based Restaurant, and in 2025 it received 17.5 points from Gault&Millau. Many ingredients come from the Ketelbroek food forest in Groesbeek. The open kitchen serves a plant-based tasting menu that changes three times a year with the seasons. Past dishes have included seaweed crisps made with kombucha SCOBY, seaweed dessert with caramel miso, and almond “brie” cheese. Located at Gebroeders Van Limburgplein in the city centre. Reservations must be made directly with the restaurant in advance.
