About
Tucked into the historic heart of Haarlem, Maita brings one of the Netherlands' most distinctive culinary concepts to the table: Nikkei cuisine, a captivating marriage of Japanese technique and Peruvian flavour. Chef-owner Michalis Hatzidiakos and co-owner Zoë Giroldi have built a restaurant where two culinary worlds meet with genuine finesse.
Familiar formats — empanadas, gyoza, sushi — are given a bold Latin American identity through carefully crafted sauces such as acevichado, chimichurri, rocoto and anticucho. Fresh-daily produce, vivid aromatics and a measured heat produce layered dishes that speak to real culinary ambition.
That ambition has not gone unnoticed. Gault&Millau awarded Maita 13/20, and the restaurant earned a place in the 2026 Lekker Top 500. A Google rating of 4.4 across more than 455 reviews confirms that diners share the sentiment. With outdoor seating available and doors open every evening of the week, Maita is Haarlem dining at its most exciting.
Reserve your table at Maita and taste why this Haarlem newcomer is turning heads across the Netherlands.
