About
Tucked away in the Drenthe village of Zweeloo, Herberg de Aelderstroom occupies a sixteenth-century building where traces of its long history are still clearly visible throughout. The setting alone makes it a destination worth the journey.
Two young, driven chefs run the kitchen, putting a distinctive personal stamp on classical cooking. Gault&Millau awarded the restaurant 13/20 and two toques — an impressive entry — while a place in the Lekker 500 (2026) and a Google rating of 4.8 from 241 reviews confirm this is one of Drenthe's most exciting dining addresses.
Rather than a fixed menu or wine list, the kitchen sets the course and guests simply follow — an approach that keeps the atmosphere relaxed and every visit genuinely surprising. Outdoor seating is available, vegetarian options are on offer, and reservations are recommended.
Book your table and let two passionate chefs guide you through an unforgettable evening in a historic inn.
