Chapeau! operated as an upscale dining venue located in Bloemendaal, Netherlands, founded in 1993 and ceasing operations on 1 August 2016. It was awarded a single Michelin star from 2003 through 2011, before being elevated to two stars in 2012, a distinction it maintained until its closure. The restaurant also achieved a score of 16.0/20 from GaultMillau.

The final executive chef leading the kitchen was Jan Sobecky. Earlier chefs responsible for earning Michelin recognition at Chapeau! were Roland Veldhuizen (2003–2005) and Jeroen Granemann (2005–2009). At the time of its shutdown, ownership belonged to Ronald Voogel and Esther de Wit.

As part of the Alliance Gastronomique Néerlandaise, Chapeau! was recognized as a prominent participant in the Netherlands' elite culinary scene.
