Michelin Starred Restaurants in Zeeland

Zeeland stands out with Michelin stars

Every year again, the exciting question is: which restaurants will be receiving one of the much-desired Michelin stars, or even several? Michelin stars are awarded to restaurants for excellent cuisine and service. As appraisals of a restaurant’s quality, these stars carry enormous weight. Zeeland strongly stands out when it comes to Michelin stars, having more Michelin stars per capita than any other place in the Netherlands.

Succulent oysters, delicious crabs and an abundance of seafood are at the disposal of Zeeland’s chefs to be turned into the most exquisite of dishes. In Zeeland, a culinary evening is a guaranteed gastronomic success.
