About

Tucked beside the Pannerdense Kanaal on the edge of the Betuwe region, Rijnzicht is one of the Netherlands' most compelling dining destinations. Chef-owner Mike Cornelissen runs a kitchen that has earned a Michelin star, a Gault&Millau score of 17.5/20, and a place in the 2026 Lekker Top 500 — recognition that reflects the consistent ambition behind every service.

Cornelissen's cooking is rooted in a modern style with a fearless, inventive character, drawing deeply on Asian flavour traditions to produce dishes of remarkable depth and precision. Sous-chef Bouwe Dijk supports him in the kitchen, while head sommelier and maître Carolien Cornelissen-van der Velde presides over the dining room, pairing outstanding wines with a personal warmth that makes the whole experience feel genuinely welcoming.

The restaurant was named Ontdekking van het Jaar (Discovery of the Year) in 2019, an early indicator of a trajectory that has only continued upward. Guests can enjoy the experience in an elegantly appointed dining room or on the generous outdoor terrace overlooking the canal — both settings that encourage lingering. A Google rating of 4.5 from 364 reviews confirms that the warm atmosphere resonates just as strongly as the food.
