The fine dining venue De Acht Zaligheden, located in Eersel, Netherlands, received a prestigious Michelin star spanning the years 1983 through 1995.

Throughout the period it held the Michelin distinction, the establishment was led by owner and head chef Henk van Tuijl. Prior to his tenure, Leon Ribbens was at the helm around 1972.

An archaeological discovery emerged in 1979 during the construction of a new wine cellar beneath the restaurant. The unearthed medieval and early modern ceramic artifacts were examined and identified by the Archaeological Institute affiliated with the Vrije Universiteit.

Following its closure between 1998 and 2003, the restaurant was succeeded by an establishment named Promessa.
