About
Tucked away in the Groningen village of Aduard, Herberg Onder de Linden is a destination restaurant that punches well above its rural address. Chef-owner Steven Klein Nijenhuis and chef Falk van Essen run the kitchen together, weaving Asian influences through a philosophy rooted in local sourcing and genuine sustainability.
The accolades are remarkable: one Michelin star, a Gault&Millau score of 16.5 out of 20, and five We're Smart radishes — the latter a mark of distinction for kitchens that champion vegetables and sustainable produce. Guests on Google echo the praise with a near-perfect 4.9 rating from 340 reviews, a rare achievement for any restaurant.
Inside, the old inn has been given a warm, nature-inspired identity: large wall murals, earthy tones and lush plants create an atmosphere that feels both grounded and quietly theatrical. Outdoor seating is available for warmer months. The kitchen's commitment to working with nearby suppliers gives every dish a genuine sense of place and season.
A Michelin-starred table in rural Groningen fills up fast — book yours before someone else does.
