About
Housed in a beautifully restored historic chapel on Zuiderweg in Groningen, Noor is a restaurant that sets the tone the moment you walk in: stained-glass windows, an open kitchen you can practically reach out and touch, and a former altar generously stocked with wines. It is a space that feels both sacred and convivial.
The creative kitchen is led by chef and co-owner Jeroen Brouwer, while Marleen Brouwer — honoured as Gastvrouw van het Jaar in 2019 — runs the floor with a grace that puts guests at ease from the first moment. Together they have built a kitchen that earns a Michelin star, a Gault&Millau score of 16.5/20, and four We're Smart radishes, reflecting a serious commitment to seasonal and plant-forward cooking alongside their broader creative menu.
Dishes take familiar ingredients as a starting point and push them somewhere unexpected — flavour pairings that feel bold yet precisely balanced, textures that surprise without distracting, and a wine list substantial enough to hold its own against the food. Noor features in the Lekker Top 500 of 2026 and carries a 4.7 on Google from 352 reviews, confirming that the accolades are well matched by the experience at the table.
