About
Perched along the Nederrijn in Rhenen, 't Kalkoentje has been one of the Netherlands' enduring dining destinations for over 35 years. The accolades speak for themselves: a 13.5/20 from Gault&Millau, a place in the 2026 Lekker 500, and a near-perfect 4.7 out of 5 on Google across close to 400 reviews.
The kitchen draws on a classical French foundation, expanded with influences from other culinary traditions. Seasonal produce drives the menu, which unfolds across four to six carefully composed courses — a format that balances ambition with genuine hospitality. The result is cooking that feels both accomplished and welcoming.
The setting matches the cooking in character: a riverside terrace for warm evenings and an open fireplace for cosier moments indoors. Warm, attentive service has remained a constant throughout the restaurant's long history, making 't Kalkoentje as much about the experience as about the food itself.
Book your table on the banks of the Nederrijn — over 35 years of excellence, one dinner at a time.
