About
Tucked away in the countryside of Mierlo, close to both Eindhoven and Helmond, De Cuijt occupies a former inn on Burgemeester Termeerstraat. Chefs Koen van Weert and Yukyung Lee opened the restaurant in spring 2025, quickly establishing a distinctive identity: creative French cooking that weaves classical technique together with Nordic accents and subtle Korean influences.
The kitchen favours focused compositions — many dishes built from just three or four ingredients — where every element earns its place. That restraint demands real precision, and the results speak for themselves. In the dining room, maître-sommelier Mick Langenhuijsen provides attentive, warm hospitality that rounds out the experience seamlessly.
For a restaurant that opened its doors in 2025, the critical recognition has been remarkable. Gault&Millau awarded De Cuijt a score of 14.5/20 and two toques upon its very first inclusion in the guide, and Michelin added it to its selection as well. A Google rating of 4.4 across 280 reviews shows that guests are equally impressed. The restaurant is reservable and offers outdoor seating for fine-weather dining.
