The Koetshuis delivered an outstanding and memorable experience. The service was personable and relaxed, while at the same time being precise and skilful. The food was great, showcasing modern French flavours.
Someone in our party had some dietary restrictions which weren't trivial. The kitchen went above and beyond in accommodating us, preparing sauces and dishes specifically to suit their needs (we did notify them when making our reservation, of course 😉).
We ordered the wine pairing by the glass for our tasting menu. During the meal, the sommelier/waiter learnt that one of us came from a wine region in Germany. Two courses later, he came back from the wine cellar and opened a bottle from this region, especially for us.
This may have been my favourite dinner that I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. The service, the food, the wine-pairings: all of it was exceptional. Thank you for the great evening. I hope I'll be returning sometime...

The attention was even in the details, if we need more bread or we ran out of olive oil. The menu itself was outstanding, each plate with it's own different flavors, blending each one in a dance in your mouth. It was super refreshing to enjoy this type of meal and they were not in a rush, we had the table for us the whole night! I completely agree with that...
Read moreI am literally just finishing one of the best meals I’ve had in The Netherlands. It is so good that I have to review it before leaving. Recommended by a coworker, each course has been “lick the enamel off” good, paired with a wine list that bursts with a joy approachable by both sommeliers and everyday diners alike. Though the star of the show is Dr. Rik’s cheese cart. A local whom loves both cheese and Het Koetshuis so much he was invited to run their cheese cart, Dr. Rik’s cheese cart is the 9th inning closer that clears the gastronomical bases. The Amsterdam and Rotterdam crowd need to make the trip because they are missing...
