About
Tucked away on a beautifully maintained country estate along the Putterstraatweg in Nijkerk, De Salentein is a destination that earns its reputation on every visit. Michelin has selected it as a noteworthy address, Gault&Millau awards it 13/20, and nearly 800 Google reviewers have settled on a 4.6-star average — a consistency that speaks for itself.
Chef Rik Jansma and his team have built a kitchen philosophy around provenance and place. Beef from the estate's own cattle takes centre stage, while wines from the restaurant's own Argentinian bodegas pour alongside. South American flavour profiles and traditions are reinterpreted through a contemporary European lens — a creative direction that earned the restaurant the title of 'Jonge Chef van het Jaar' (Young Chef of the Year) in 2009.
Dining at De Salentein is as much about the setting as the plate. Vegetarian options are available, reservations are easy to make online, and the estate provides a backdrop that turns any meal into a genuine occasion.
Book your table and experience why De Salentein remains one of the most celebrated dining destinations in the Nijkerk region.
