Chef Peter Gast and his wife Jacqueline van Lier opened their 'speakeasy' restaurant four years ago in the Paardenstraat, around the corner from Eden Hotel Amsterdam. On the day of your reservation you will receive a QR code via WhatsApp with which you can open the entrance door and enter the world of Graphite. Peter and Jacqueline had more than made their mark with their star restaurant 't Schultenhues in Zutphen, but could not resist the attraction of Amsterdam. Guest is culinary enterprising, always looking for innovation and improvement. Inside it is a club-like setting, intimate and international. But the sign must speak and it does: Michelin rewarded the chef with a Michelin star again in 2020, just two years after the opening. With classic preparations and surprising Asian influences, he creates dishes with depth. You can choose from the menu or just go “all the way” as he says: his menus have 10,12, 15 or XNUMX preparations and Peter Gast doesn't shy away from vegetarian or vegan dishes. In fact, he wants to be progressive with this.

't GOSENEST *
What a past this restaurant has! Henk Savelberg, who currently has a Michelin-starred restaurant in Bangkok, cooked there as an 'exile' when the papal nuncio threw a spanner in the works for the plans for his new restaurant in The Hague. Harry Visbeen, another cooking icon, moved his restaurant in the city center of The Hague to its current location at the Rijswijk Golf Club and also took the name with him, which the restaurant bears again. The youngest star chef in the Netherlands, Niven Kunz, settled there after he left Wateringen (he has now returned to the old location in Westland). And then Erik Tas came from Leidschendam, where his other restaurant Bij Erik was awarded a Bib Gourmand for price-quality by Michelin. He brought back the allure of yesteryear in Rijswijk and exceeded himself and expectations: barely nine months after the opening, the inspectors of the red food bible rewarded 't Ganzenest with the coveted Michelin star.

WIESEN *
Patron-cuisinier Yuri Wiesen was fascinated by the chef's profession as a teenager and decided at the age of sixteen that he could only learn the trade from the best. After gaining twenty years of experience in various top restaurants and eventually reaching the position of chef, he opened his own Restaurant Wiesen in Eindhoven in 2010. With success, because the tire brand's inspectors awarded the business the first Michelin star within four years. His cuisine is classical in origin, but contemporary with influences from all over the world. Evergreens that have become an indispensable part of his menu are the three preparations of foie gras, turbot with truffle and pigeon roasted on the carcass. Characteristic of his style is that what you read on the menu is also reflected on the plate. Affordable and accessible enjoyment is important to Yuri.
