About
Nestled along the Vliet waterway in Voorschoten, De Knip has long been a well-regarded destination in the region. Owner-chef Marcel van Teijlingen oversees a restaurant where classic character and contemporary sensibility meet — both in the surroundings and on the plate. His modern cuisine has earned Michelin recognition (Selected), a Gault&Millau score of 12/20, and a place in the prestigious Lekker Top 500 for 2026.
Guests can choose between a multi-course set menu or dishes à la carte, with vegetarian options available. The terrace is a standout feature — a wonderful spot for an al fresco lunch or dinner by the water. Indoors, the atmosphere is equally welcoming, blending warmth and refinement in a way that feels both relaxed and polished.
With a Google rating of 4.2 from 549 reviews, De Knip consistently wins over a broad range of diners. Attentive, detail-oriented hospitality completes a dining experience that is looked after from the first welcome to the final course.
