About
Tucked away on the Dorpsstraat in Capelle a/d IJssel, Perceel occupies a beautiful historic dike house that once served as the local town hall. The setting is extraordinary: a terrace perched right on the dike overlooking the Hollandse IJssel, and a dedicated herb and flower garden that supplies the kitchen with fresh, hand-picked ingredients.
Chef-owner Jos Grootscholten channels this sense of place into a creative, seasonally driven kitchen, with sous-chef Bas de Vries alongside him. Maître and sommelier Sharon Tettero leads the front of house with expertise and genuine enthusiasm, guiding guests through a thoughtfully curated wine selection. The restaurant was awarded the title of Jonge Chef van het Jaar (Young Chef of the Year) in 2013 and features in the Lekker Top 500 of 2026.
The accolades speak for themselves: one Michelin star, an impressive 16.5/20 from Gault&Millau, a We're Smart radish for its plant-forward approach, and a Google rating of 4.7 from 375 reviews. Perceel has been earning its reputation for over fifteen years, and every detail — from the riverside terrace to the curated wine list — reflects that commitment.
Book your table at Perceel now — a Michelin-starred evening on the IJssel awaits.
