About
Perched right on the open waterways of Noorden, De Watergeus is one of those rare places that earns its reputation on every front. Owner-manager Annemarike Pieterse and chef Bas Roelofs have built a restaurant that has been awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand, a Gault&Millau score of 14/20, and a place in the 2026 Lekker Top 500 — all while keeping the atmosphere warm and genuinely welcoming.
The kitchen strikes a confident balance between creative modern cooking and comforting classics. The menu refreshes frequently with new suggestions, always rooted in quality produce, while the wine list is carefully chosen and fairly priced, with personal team picks that are likely to lead you somewhere new.
The terrace, crowned Terras van het Jaar in 2022, stretches out over the water and is a destination in its own right. With prices ranging from €41.00 to €81.50 and a Google rating of 4.7 from 341 reviews, De Watergeus consistently delivers an experience well worth the journey.
