About
Tucked into the centre of Spakenburg at Kerkstraat 103, de Mandemaaker occupies a characterful listed building that has drawn locals and visitors alike for years. The beautifully decorated dining room — hung with striking artworks — creates an atmosphere that feels both refined and welcoming, while the outdoor terrace adds an extra dimension on warmer days.
Chef Sander de Vette leads the kitchen with a contemporary approach that draws on international influences, while host Annegreet Erkelens ensures guests feel at home from the moment they arrive. A noteworthy feature of the restaurant is its internationally curated wine list, which also allows guests to bring their own bottle subject to a corkage fee.
The credentials speak for themselves: a Gault&Millau score of 12.5/20, a place in the Michelin selection, inclusion in the Lekker Top 500 2026, and a Google rating of 4.4 from nearly 300 reviews. De Mandemaaker is, by any measure, one of the standout addresses on the Dutch culinary map.
