About
Housed in a seventeenth-century farmstead on the Zonnenberg in Zoetermeer, Hofstede Meerzigt is a restaurant that earns its accolades as much through its remarkable setting — warm hues, historic wooden beams — as through what arrives on the plate. It is, quite simply, one of the more distinctive dining addresses in the region.
Chef Alain Adriaanse leads the kitchen with a market-driven philosophy, crafting dishes rooted in seasonal produce and balanced composition. His work has been recognised with a 15/20 score from Gault&Millau, a Michelin Selected distinction, a place in the 2026 Lekker Top 500, and a Google rating of 4.7 across 477 reviews — a consistently strong set of credentials across every major Dutch dining guide.
In the dining room, maître-sommelier Sermad Wartan brings the same level of dedication to the wine side of the experience, offering thoughtful pairings from an extensive list and sharing his enthusiasm for both the wines and the venue's storied history. An outdoor terrace is available for those who wish to dine al fresco.
