De Librije

L'avis du Guide Michelin

De Librije is a culinary institution that has held three MICHELIN Stars since 2004. If artisanal local ingredients, a vegetable-forward approach, inventive techniques and the use of fermentation to create bright acidity have become widespread today, that is thanks in part to the pioneering work of Jonnie Boer. He was the most influential Dutch chef of his generation, and his life was cut tragically short. Honoured by chef Nelson Tanate and the fantastic team at De Librije, his bold, distinctive style of cooking leaves a long-lasting impression. With every dish, you find yourself wondering how they manage to combine such finesse with so much character and complexity. For example, they age caviar themselves in wooden bowls that have been soaked in sherry, place a cherry leaf delicately fried in tempura beneath it, grate egg yolk over the top, and serve it with a lightly smoked potato mousseline and potato cracklings. Emotion on a plate! Dining in the glass-covered courtyard of this former prison is extraordinary. Every detail is just right. From the tour of the kitchen and a look at Jonnie's favourite corner, which has become a tribute to the chef, to the private dining experience that completely immerses guests in the world of De Librije. The attentive yet discreet service is exemplary. And let's not forget host Thérèse Boer, a consummate professional who understands each dish and perfectly complements its flavours with her wine pairings. In a word: sublime!
