Restaurant Hemel & Aarde

What an absolute gem of a restaurant. I must say I was half expecting the classic overpriced restaurants that one often finds in touristic places, but this one was all the opposite: genuine, friendly, with a stellar cuisine with an insane value for money. For a simple lunch we got to taste no less than a dozen dishes, bouchées and amuse bouches - each absolutely stunning with a unique identity. The staff was really the cherry on the top: super friendly and not haughty at all, not intrusive either - we spent 3 lovely hours thanks to them. We're french and used to eating in gastronomic restaurants when we get the chance, but this one definitely hold a special place. Bedankt!

Definitively the best culinary experience I ever had in the Netherlands. Each dishes was an ode to local produces. From peas to asparagus, beets and artichoke. Each dish had its own identity to magnify the products. The vegetarian menu has nothing to envy of the one with meat. The attention to detail and kindness of the staff made the experience even more enjoyable. We would definitely come back to try another season's menu

Amazing venue, fantastic food and a unique wine list that in itself is worth the visit. We really enjoyed this beautiful restaurant with its spacious indoor space surrounded by large windows. The five course tasting menu was a mix of modern, handcrafted delights based on fresh, often locally sourced ingredients. Their wine list was extensive and also featured Dutch wines which was a pleasant surprise for us. We found their Dutch Riesling especially well balanced being on the dryer side with the strong acidity one expects from Riesling.

November 2024, Had a real good dinner here. Staff was very attending and enthusiastic they really liked working here. Excellent wine choices. The food was good, loved the main dishes, the amuses and dessert a little less. The wild duck stood out for me, this was an excellent dish. The different kind of breads served throughout the dinner is a nice touch.

We enjoyed a 6-course dinner at Hemel en Aarde in this beautiful, iconic, monumental setting with stunning high ceilings. All dishes were nicely presented and the flavour combinations were intriguing. However, several dishes were not completely balanced taste-wise and were overly salty, which overshadowed the flavour of the key ingredients. The staff was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable about the dishes and wines and subtly omnipresent throughout the evening. Overall, we had a really nice evening. Thank you!

Service was good at Hemel, but the food wasn't the best, especially for us as meatlovers. Dishes were more vegetarian. The dishes were designed beautifully. But dessert gets the minimum rate! I never want that many spices in my dessert. We couldn't even have one spoon of desserts. The strength of night was tasty wines, though.

Amazing fine dining in the beautiful space. Every dish was delicious and always served with a phenomenal pastry or bread. The selection of desserts at the end was beautiful and the special birthday cake was a nice touch. The service was very friendly. One issue was that it was a little too slow for us, we spent four hours sitting in the restaurant.

I had an unforgettable dinner at Hemel & Aarde during my stay at The Nox (also highly recommended). The service was outstanding, thanks to passionate and knowledgeable waiters like Jim and Daan. Every dish was beautifully presented with a perfect balance of flavors, and the wine pairings were spot on, complete with great explanations. An exceptional culinary experience from start to finish. Compliments to the entire Hemel & Aarde team. They are doing an outstanding job together!
