About
Tucked away in the charming Frisian village of Grou, Bistro Pinot has quickly made a name for itself as one of the most accomplished restaurants in the region. Its debut Gault&Millau assessment awarded the restaurant a score of 13/20, and it also features in the Lekker Top 500 for 2026 — an impressive double recognition for a bistro of its scale.
Owner Tariq Gessesse personally looks after guests in the dining room, while young chef Mike van der Berg crafts technically accomplished dishes from the kitchen. That blend of warm, hands-on hospitality and culinary ambition sets Bistro Pinot apart from the ordinary.
A Google rating of 4.7 out of 5 across 167 reviews confirms that diners agree. Outdoor seating is available on the terrace, vegetarian options are on the menu, and the restaurant opens Wednesday through Sunday from 5:30 PM — making it the perfect destination for a special dinner during a weekend in the Frisian Lakes.
Book your table at Bistro Pinot and taste why Grou belongs on every food lover's map.
