My partner and I attended the summer special, and it was truly out of this world. The attention to detail was incredible—the chefs personally brought dishes to our table and explained the ingredients and flavours, which added such a personal touch. They catered brilliantly for my nut allergy, even swapping one sweet for a nut-free alternative. The warm, freshly baked bread was a delight, and the prestige wine package was excellent, introduced with passion and knowledge by our well-informed waiter. All the staff were educated about the locally sourced ingredients, right down to the blond bier brewed in the same town. Their light humour and warm interactions made us feel completely at ease and added to what was already a very special evening. The flavours from the amuses were bursting, each one a surprise. The venue’s design, both inside and out, was stunning, and walking past the open kitchen with polite chefs greeting us set the perfect tone. The whole atmosphere was relaxing, and we enjoyed the evening so much that we haven’t stopped telling everyone about it. We will definitely be back.

We had a truly enjoyable 3-course summer special meal! The cannelloni with deer stew and chanterelle mushrooms was the star – it was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented, truly transporting me back to my time in Stockholm. The dessert was also fantastic, with its creamy texture and striking design-unique shape reminiscent of roof lighting. But the real showstopper? The warm, fragrant madeleine, smelling of butter and vanilla, it was pure perfection and the absolute highlight of our night. The sourdough bread was also excellent. Additionally, l have to say: the very best flat white in the town! served really hot, l hate cold served cappuccinos, flat whites, special thanks for this 🤩 A few small suggestions for an even better experience: we really missed having a drink menu to help us choose wines and discover your non-alcoholic options, l saw it later on your website. The slow-cooked salmon starter fell a bit flat; it needs more character; perhaps a touch of sourness, spice, sweetness, or umami to give it a distinctive taste. The wine pairing was just okay. l am sure there are much better rated options around. Despite these minor points, the staff were polite and friendly, which greatly enhanced the experience. l am wondering if chefs had worked before in Scandinavian countries and Italy? was a really successful fusion. We'd love to come back again!

I went here yesterday for the zomeractie and it was absolutely fantastic! The ambience from the small chapel that the restaurant lives in is warm and intimate and has beautiful, comfortable decor. The staff are incredibly attentive and friendly and it's lovely to be in such as small setting that you can enjoy the motions happening around you. The food was incredible, with both the wine arrangements and lemonade arrangements being delicious and something to remember. The roe deer cannelloni was fantastic and something to remember. There was a small mishap with the timing of the amuses but we hadn't even noticed as we were having such a lovely like. It was nevertheless sorted immediately. I'll definitely be coming back. It's wonderful to have such incredible food so close to home. I didn't end up taking any photos, I blame having such a good time.

What a great experience! Noor-menu , 7 courses including additional cheese and signature dish were are excellent. A fine pairing of wine with the courses and juices for the vegetarian menu. The service was superb and well managed. The hostess came by the table a view times as well which was very nice. We had a amazing evening we will nog forget.

Beginning with when we walked in, very warm welcome from the staff and passing through the kitchen, everyone also greet to us. The atmosphere is really nice and beautiful interiors. The dishes are very creatief, the combination of flavors are also very interesting. I also like the drinks which they made themselves to match with the dish. The taste overall is not heavy, mostly fresh and sour in the base. My husband loves the bread which made from Marleen herself, the owner. She showed us the yeast dough she made and even gave my hubby extra bread. The service is great and we really enjoyed this evening.

Stay away if you have any allergies or dietary restrictions. Giving 3 stars since I’m sure the experience and food would have been wonderful if the service could have accommodated me. I would rather give 1 star but I’m trying to be fair. I booked a reservation at Noor and noted that I am allergic to peanuts. Mind you that peanuts are very easily avoided unlike some other more serious foods. A few days before my reservation, I was sent a reminder email of my upcoming lunch and that if there were any allergies to accommodate, I needed to let them know. I told them I have a peanut allergy for the second time and they told me that they prefer not to accommodate any allergies but will do their best. I found this incredibly rude to not want to accommodate me even though I gave them 3 weeks notice at my first reservation request. They told me that the current menu did not contain any peanuts, that the few items that may contain traces could be replaced for me, but that they just simply don’t want to accommodate allergies and that it was at my own risk. For a Michelin star restaurant, this is not Michelin star service. I have been to Michelin star restaurants before and was always taken seriously, accommodated, and made to feel safe in their environment. This was incredibly disappointing and unprofessional. I cancelled my reservation and did not dine here over the fact that myself as a customer was unwanted.

It was always on my bucket list to do something amazing like this, so we did! What an amazing night we had yesterday at Gault & Millau & Michelin star restaurant Noor Groningen. We went in with a completely blank mind and wow, we were astonished by the whole lot of it. The building, an old church actually, ambiance, the team of owner, sommelier, waiters and cooks, just like a well oiled machine and filling in for eachother perfectly. It was even way above my expectations, and those were already pretty high to be honest! Every dish was accompanied by a unique and perfectly fitting wine, I’ve never had such combinations of food and wine before, it was so precisely. Every time we got an upcoming dish the cook that made it explained the ingredients but also the way of cooking and even where the ingredients came from in a very extensive way. The same for the wines, at every dish the sommelier came to pour us a glass of wine, explaining exactly where it came from, how it was grown in the country of origin and on which soil and also for how long it was being preserved, for example on oak. I do regret not taking pictures of the wine labels now, but when you are in such a moment, you just don’t want to get your phone out. Very well deserved that they have a white star on the star wine list. Besides every dish looked beautiful, the taste was also beyond anything I could ever expect, the taste changed constantly while you were eating, so surprising how food can be made into pieces of art. Maybe even too beautiful to eat, but we still did it, oops. The most impressive where that some dishes were made with some really local but also simple ingredients, you never think something this amazing would come out of celeriac, but it was probably the best dish of the night. And that comes from me as non vegetarian and a meat and fish lover!

Splendid dining experience! 👌 From the entrance to when you leave, you are pampered like nowhere else in Groningen. The gastronomic food is as delicious as it looks, and the drink pairings are simply perfect. The open kitchen resonates the intensity and passion of chefs into the stunning dining area. The exceptional service team is always a step away, catering to any of your needs, making you wonder if "no" is even part of their vocabulary. A faultless evening left me and my mother with memories for a lifetime. Thank you, Noor.
