About
Tucked away on Peperstraat in the centre of Alkmaar, Fernando's has been a cherished dinner destination since 2017. The restaurant is the shared project of chef Fernando Jonker and host Mark Zomers — a partnership that shows in every detail, from the kitchen's creativity to the effortlessly convivial atmosphere in the dining room.
Jonker's cooking draws heavily on Asian influences while staying rooted in the seasons, and the format is deliberately focused: a single changing five-course menu, no à la carte. The result is a consistency that has earned the restaurant a 12/20 from Gault&Millau (its first chef's toque) and a place in the Lekker Top 500 of 2026. Guests agree — 275 Google reviews have converged on a remarkable 4.9 rating.
With both indoor dining and an outdoor terrace on offer, Fernando's suits everything from a relaxed weeknight dinner to a special occasion. The restaurant is open Monday through Saturday from 6 PM, and reservations are strongly recommended.
Book your table now — with a 4.9 Google rating, Fernando's fills up fast.
