About
On Rotterdam's Straatweg, YANO radiates a quiet sense of purpose. The restaurant pairs a warm, attentive welcome with a kitchen that speaks with real conviction — creative French cuisine that has earned a 15.5/20 from Gault&Millau, a Michelin Selected distinction, and a place in the 2026 Lekker Top 500.
Chef Yuri Wattimena draws on his heritage and technical range to transform simple, sometimes surprising ingredients into dishes of genuine depth and complexity. His approach is rooted in personal identity and refined over time — cooking that reveals ambition without losing clarity. At the table, sommelier Joey Slappendel completes the experience with a far-reaching wine selection spanning every major wine-producing region.
YANO made an immediate impression on the Dutch culinary scene, receiving the title of Hoogste Nieuwkomer van het Jaar (Highest New Entry of the Year) in 2023. A Google rating of 4.8 across 133 reviews confirms that guests keep returning — and it's easy to understand why.
