About
On the historic harbour of Medemblik, Shun brings together Japanese precision and French finesse in a way that feels both considered and genuinely exciting. Chef-owner Bas Varga and fellow chef Nick Varga run a kitchen that is technically accomplished and remarkably coherent — a fact that Gault&Millau has recognised with a score of 14/20 and two toques.
Front-of-house is led by maître and sommelier Elza Kroezen, whose team delivers service that is attentive and impeccably timed. Bas Varga regularly steps out to present his dishes in person, lending Shun an intimate, personal quality that elevates the experience beyond the plate.
Guests have taken notice: a 4.9 on Google across 142 reviews makes Shun one of the most highly rated restaurants in North Holland. The restaurant offers outdoor seating overlooking the harbour, vegetarian options, and is open for both lunch and dinner on weekends.
