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.

Indoors, the atmosphere is equally welcoming, blending warmth and refinement in a way that feels both relaxed and polished.
