About

Tucked away in the Brabant village of Waalre, Eden is the restaurant of chef-owner Herman Cooijmans — a place where a historic building and a thoroughly contemporary kitchen make for a compelling combination. The original beam ceiling has been preserved, lending the space the warmth of an old inn, while considered lighting, a mix of banquette and classic table settings, and a striking wine room built into the heart of the dining room signal that every detail has been thought through.

The cooking is modern and inventive. Rather than locking guests into fixed menus, Cooijmans introduced an à-la-carte style choice menu that lets diners build their own experience from his original, boundary-pushing dishes. The result has earned Eden a 15/20 from Gault&Millau and a place in the Michelin selection — accolades that align with its 4.5-star Google rating across 244 reviews.

Wine is taken just as seriously as the food. Carefully curated pairings are available alongside the option to select a bottle from an ever-growing wine list. With a terrace for outdoor dining, vegetarian options on the menu, and easy online reservations, Eden combines gastronomic ambition with genuine hospitality.

A 15/20 Gault&Millau score and a Michelin selection await — reserve your table at Eden today.
