About
Right on Zwolle's Grote Markt, Salty Seafood Restaurant has established itself as the city's go-to address for exceptional fish and seafood. The intimate space has a warm, convivial feel, and the attentive front-of-house team ensures every guest receives plenty of personal care — especially those who take a seat at the bar and enjoy a direct view into the kitchen.
Chef Nino Willems drives the kitchen with evident passion, working each day with whole fish that arrive fresh and are filleted and prepared entirely in-house. That commitment to craft has earned the restaurant serious recognition: a 14.5/20 from Gault&Millau, a place in the Lekker Top 500 for 2026, and inclusion in the Michelin selection. Willems himself was named 'New Chef on the Block' in 2024.
Sustainability runs through everything the kitchen does. By processing whole fish and making full use of every part, waste is kept to an absolute minimum — a philosophy that feels as considered as the cooking itself. For anyone who takes their seafood seriously, Salty Seafood is a must.
