About
Tucked into the historic Lage Markt in Nijmegen, just steps from the Waalkade and the River Waal, Witlof is built around a single conviction: let the market lead. Chef Jurgen Eikholt shapes each menu around what the season offers, producing dishes that are as thoughtfully composed as they are satisfying.
The result is recognition from all the right quarters. Michelin includes Witlof in its official selection, while Gault&Millau awards the restaurant a confident 13.5/20 — with reviewers suggesting the score still undersells what is on the plate. The 2026 Lekker Top 500 counts it among the best restaurants in the Netherlands, and nearly 290 Google reviewers have pushed the rating to an exceptional 4.8 out of 5.
Witlof's surprise tasting menu format gives Eikholt the latitude to follow the best produce of the moment, making every visit a genuinely different experience. All of this comes at a moderate price point, making Witlof one of Nijmegen's most compelling dining destinations.
Book your table now — chef Jurgen Eikholt's market menu sells out fast.
