About
Tucked away on the Raadhuisstraat in the quiet village of Linschoten, De Burgemeester punches well above its weight. Chef and co-owner Sander Spruijt crafts a modern cuisine built on technical precision and confident flavour, a combination recognised by both Michelin with one star and Gault&Millau with an impressive 16 out of 20.
The front-of-house is in equally capable hands: co-owner Anne Spruijt oversees the dining room with a warmth and attentiveness that keeps the atmosphere relaxed without ever feeling informal. The restaurant's Gastheer van het Jaar (Host of the Year) award from 2007 reflects a long-standing commitment to genuine hospitality — something more than 335 Google reviewers echo with a 4.7 rating.
De Burgemeester also features in the 2026 Lekker Top 500 and holds three We're Smart radishes, a distinction for plant-forward cooking. On fine days, the outdoor terrace adds an extra dimension to the experience. Reservations are accepted and strongly recommended.
