Cour du Nord was a fine dining restaurant situated in Nooitgedacht, Drenthe, Netherlands. It received a prestigious Michelin star in both 2009 and 2010 before ceasing operations in 2011.
Throughout its period of Michelin recognition, the kitchen was led by head chefs Pieter de Ronde in 2009 and Marco Philips in 2010. Later, the culinary leadership transitioned to Omar Dahak.
As part of the upscale holiday destination Hof van Saksen, Cour du Nord distinguished itself as the first Dutch restaurant located within a resort to be honored with a Michelin star.
Initially positioned centrally within the resort with a seating capacity of 70, the restaurant moved in 2010 closer to the entrance aiming to draw more external visitors and to strive for a second Michelin star. However, following this relocation, it lost its Michelin distinction.
Esteemed chef Robert Kranenborg acted as the culinary consultant for Hof van Saksen and was instrumental in selecting Cour du Nord’s team. He appointed Pieter de Ronde as head chef, recruiting him from his own establishment at Corona.
