About
On the very street in Riethoven where he grew up, chef Cas Pikaar opened his eponymous restaurant. That homecoming is woven into the soul of the place: a warmth and familiarity that is matched, dish by dish, by the skill he has spent years refining.
The menu is rooted in classic French cuisine, striking a balance between comfort and finesse. A signature amuse — an egg presented in a porcelain eggshell with a filling that shifts with the seasons — has quickly become emblematic of the kitchen's approach. In autumn the preparation features a softly cooked egg yolk with a rich cream of cep mushrooms and Parmesan. Gault&Millau welcomed Pikaar into its guide with a score of 13.5/20, Michelin added a selection, and the restaurant earned a place in the Lekker Top 500 for 2026.
Guests consistently back up those accolades: Pikaar holds a Google rating of 4.7 from 157 reviews. The restaurant opens for dinner Tuesday through Friday and offers both lunch and dinner on Saturday, with reservations available online.
