About
Housed in a former municipal depot dating back to 1916, Chef aan de Werf is one of Hilversum's most atmospheric dining destinations. The original factory building forms the architectural backbone of the space, creating an interior where industrial heritage and contemporary hospitality coexist effortlessly.
The kitchen is rooted in a market-driven approach — fresh, seasonal and unpretentious. The quality speaks for itself: Michelin has awarded the restaurant a Bib Gourmand, recognising outstanding food at a moderate price point, while Gault&Millau rates it 12.5/20. A Google rating of 4.6 from nearly 380 reviews confirms that guests leave consistently satisfied.
Open Tuesday through Saturday for dinner, the restaurant also offers outdoor seating for those who enjoy dining al fresco. Vegetarian options are available, and reservations can be made in advance — wise given the restaurant's reputation.
Reserve your table at one of Hilversum's most celebrated neighbourhood restaurants — Bib Gourmand quality at everyday prices.
