About
Tucked away on Santpoorterplein in Haarlem's Kleverparkbuurt, Deplanu is the kind of restaurant that rewards those who seek it out. The setting feels intimate and neighbourhood-warm, but the kitchen is anything but ordinary — international in scope and full of culinary conviction. Gault&Millau awarded it a score of 12.5/20, and the 2026 Lekker Top 500 places Deplanu among the most notable dining destinations in the Netherlands.
Under the direction of Nicky Bruynen, the team cooks with genuine commitment and a sense of purpose that guests feel from the moment they walk in. That dedication runs deep: the team carries forward a legacy that matters profoundly to everyone involved, and it shows in every detail of the experience. The service is young, attentive, and contributes to the lively yet welcoming atmosphere.
A Google rating of 4.5 from 270 reviews underlines what regulars already know — Deplanu consistently delivers. There is outdoor seating for warmer days, vegetarian options are available, and reservations can be made in advance, which is highly recommended given the restaurant's well-earned following.
