"Admire the grandeur of this fully restored 17C château as you take the road up, walk across the little bridge and immerse yourself in its attractive blend of historical features and contemporary luxury. Heemstede Castle is an exceptional and enchanting location, and in Ollie Schuiling it has a very talented chef at the helm. You can expect a few surprises on the wine list, including some sought-after gems from Europe, as well as a nod to the Netherlands. The wines perfectly complement the intense flavours of the chef's dishes. Exceptionally fresh top-quality produce, sublime sauces and inventive preparations with a "wow" factor make this place the success that it is. The chef has a meticulous approach to his extremely well-crafted and visually appealing cuisine. Take his lightly smoked breast of Anjou pigeon, paired with a giblet mousse, a parsnip mousse and a wonderfully intense sauce infused with garam masala. This really is a fairy tale castle!" - Michelin Inspector

We were a party of six, so you would expect some blunders in the orders. This was not the case. Our host the head chef Ollie came and introduced himself. After which every dish was delivered creating an exceptional experience. We had our own private nook in the castle, and no we did not at any moment feel as if we had been forgotten. Thank you for this memorable experience. I include some food picture.

Tucked away in serene surroundings, this former castle—now a Michelin-starred restaurant—feels as though it’s been lifted straight from the pages of a fairytale. The ambiance is both regal and inviting, with an atmosphere that effortlessly transports you to a different era. Each course of the dinner was thoughtfully curated, presenting a harmonious blend of creativity and flavor. Every dish brought a delightful surprise, showcasing refined techniques and bold culinary imagination. The presentation was as exquisite as the taste—an artistic feast for both the eyes and the palate. Beyond the culinary experience, the location offers quietude rarely found today. A gentle walk around the grounds adds to the magic, with every corner steeped in history and charm. A truly unforgettable experience for all the senses.

From the moment you enter the ground and ride up the avenue/Lane towards the beautifully restored castle I felt very happy and excited for the upcoming culinary experience. Under the masterful direction of Chef Ollie Schuiling, Kasteel Heemstede offers a highly refined cuisine with an atmosphere of friendliness and familiarity wrapped in professionalism and excitement for food and wine. From the cute story to the plating the experience is happy and rich in flavours and textures. The local Dutch farmed fish and lamb were above excellent in flavour and presentation serving to the excitement of every bite. Having the chef come to the table several times was a refreshing and highly appreciated treat. Thank you Ollie and the team for a fantastic anniversary dinner!

A Michelin-star restaurant set in a beautiful and easily accessible castle. As expected from a Michelin star, the food was outstanding, exceptionally well balanced, refined, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The portions were perfectly sized, with a well-paced flow between courses. We chose the six-course menu without wine pairing, and one standout for us was the brioche bread. While the pricing was on the higher end, even for a Michelin-star restaurant, and the basement seating area could benefit from a more refined atmosphere, the culinary experience truly stood out. Overall, we still rate it five stars. The level of craftsmanship and flavor is something you’ll only experience a handful of times in a lifetime.

Just superb! I can't fault anything but the price of the sparkling water, which was rudiculously expensive. The rest was just perfect! Thank you chef for sharing your stories and showing us around. We'll definitely come back when you earn that next star.

Me and my girlfriend had a 7 course diner here and we absolutely loved it. The food was amazing, the sommelier knew everything about the food and all of the matching wines. (We took the wine arrangement) All of the staff (including the owner of the restaurant) was very kind and welcoming, and they made sure everything was taken care of. In short this was a spectacular experience. it was a really great experience.
