Chef-owner Erik Hendriksen champions a market-driven kitchen, letting the seasons guide his menu while adding a contemporary edge that brings each dish its own sense of discovery. The accolades reflect this ambition: a Gault&Millau score of 12.5/20, a place in the Michelin selection, and a spot in the Lekker 500 for 2026 — all confirming Het Sluishuys among the Netherlands' notable dining destinations.
