About
Tucked away on the Hoogstraat in the historic Frisian town of Dokkum, De Waard van Napels is where Neapolitan culinary spirit meets northern Dutch terroir. Chef Michael Roest, classically trained in the French tradition, has made the cuisine of Naples his own since 2019, anchoring it with as many regional Frisian ingredients as possible — all while preserving the authentic soul of the flavours.
Gault&Millau awards the kitchen a score of 13/20, reflecting the care and precision with which each dish is crafted. Over 200 guests on Google echo that sentiment with a rating of 4.3, testament to the restaurant's reliable quality and inviting atmosphere.
Completing the experience is Salvatore Apuzzo, a Neapolitan who has been at the restaurant from the very start, serving as both maître d' and sommelier. His spontaneous warmth and expert wine guidance make every visit feel personal. The restaurant also offers outdoor seating and a dedicated vegetarian menu for those who prefer plant-based dining.
