About
Tucked away in the Limburg village of Reijmerstok, Brut172 sits at the very pinnacle of Dutch fine dining. Chef-owner Hans van Wolde's restaurant holds two Michelin stars, an exceptional 19/20 from Gault&Millau, and the number-one spot in the Lekker 500 — a combination almost without equal in the Netherlands. Five We're Smart radishes and a Google rating of 4.9 from 437 reviews round out an extraordinary roll of honour.
Dining at Brut172 is a fully immersive experience: guests are guided through a series of distinct spaces within the building, each carefully conceived as part of a multi-sensory journey.

Chef Wai-Tou Tsang completes the kitchen team.
The restaurant's creative cuisine is defined by boldness and a refined sense of balance. Gault&Millau named Van Wolde Chef of the Year in 2026 — a title the same guide had already awarded him back in 2008 — underscoring a level of excellence sustained across decades. In 2022, the restaurant was also honoured as Highest New Entry of the Year.
