Neder

So good that you focus on the experience and not taking photos…. Wonderful people, warm and friendly. Creative and surprising food. Only Dutch wines which were a great surprise and the non alcoholic drinks were top!! Looking forward to attend one of the workshops. Thank you for such a nice experience.

Neder received a Michelin nomination Sept 18th and (update) just was awarded the Green designation. They deserve it. Foodies in Amsterdam owe it to themselves to visit. I came from Seattle, Washington US. What distinguishes Neder is the chemistry - even Alchemy - of the Nederlands and the Ponder sourced ingredients. The first aperitif was distilled essence of conifers. A beautiful palette cleanser. Then there was the distilled young pinecone essence in a later dish. There were the large caramelized roasted garlic from the upper polder, and the micro “French onion soup” made with rich broth and the oil from 25 year old cheese. The flavors I enjoyed were ones I have never enjoyed before and can’t describe - and I won’t have again until I return. Neder’s true farm to table experience is one of the top ten dining experiences I’ve had over the last 30 years - including many 3 star Michelin restaurants across the world. My photos capture the appearance- but don’t due justice to the hours, weeks and months and foraging that go into the delightful sensory experiences of the flavors you will encounter. Enjoy ! Highly recommended.

Everyone in our company of 8 is eager to come back with new guests! We had an amazing evening in all possible respects and will return to enjoy changes in the menu as it evolves with the seasons. Definitely worth traveling to Alkmaar for if you don't live close by!

Neder has become our restaurant to go in the center of Alkmaar. Since the moment we tried their fine-dining, we have been excited to come back and try all menu inspired by Dutch nature at a different seasons of the year. Neder has managed to surprise us all the time with their creative food/herbs preservation, harmonious drink pairings and fascinating dish preparation processes! The team is friendly and passionate about what they’re doing and you can definitely taste it.

Best restaurant in Alkmaar—by quite a long shot—and probably best in the area. Brian’s team at Neder has set a new bar for quality for the city and is bringing much, much needed culinary innovation to the region. We had a wonderful experience—with dishes that invoke both wonder and nostalgia—don’t skip out on the (non-alcoholic) beverage pairings, they make a range of delicious kombuchas, kvass, and sodas in-house.

Its a small authentic and intimate setting that breaths history. The staff are true artisans, passionate about their products and visibly enjoy their work. Every dish is very tasteful with suprising combinations of flavour and texture. And yes, everything is sourced locally, and looks beautiful. Worth recommending? If you are looking for a great evening, appreciate food and craftsmanship, we (party of 2) would say, absolutely!

We had a dinner "Bos menu" and it was a great comfort experience. The course started with what I call "forest dashi", followed by many beautiful and well designed small dishes. The nut pate with aardeperen was great, reindeer moss and maitake made us particularly happy. Also the home brewed non alcoholic beverages were very nice. I loved watching the relaxed kitchen too. Our dietary restrictions were also carefully taken care of. The restaurant is in the heart of Alkmaar and has a cozy atmosphere. I recommend here for all fermentation lovers.

I can highly recommend Neder: we had a dinner last Friday night and it had everything for a perfect night out. The quality of the food was great, the dishes were very creative and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I also like a lot that only local products are used and that we got to taste ingredients and dishes I would never try otherwise.
