Overview

• The Michelin Guide will announce this year’s Netherlands star selections in Maastricht on Monday at 11:00.
• Inspectors evaluate restaurants anonymously year-round and apply five global criteria focused on product quality, technique, flavor harmony, chef’s signature and consistency.
• Recent digital Guide listings signal potential contenders, with Aan de Zweth returning and newcomers TerGovw and Lalou noted, while De Gaper received a Bib Gourmand for value.
• The region currently counts eight one-star restaurants: Pieters Restaurant, LIZZ, Calla’s, Latour, ’t Ganzenest, Central Park, De Moerbei and Triptyque.
• Lutum, which earned a first star and a green star last year, reports more guests and higher expectations, and Michelin customarily informs restaurants privately in advance if a star will be withdrawn.
