De Groene Lantaarn is an upscale dining establishment situated in Zuidwolde, Drenthe, in the Netherlands. It received its inaugural Michelin star in 2011, retained this distinction through 2015, and was elevated to two Michelin stars in 2016.
The restaurant is led by head chef Jarno Eggen, who, together with Cindy Donker, took ownership of the venue in May 2009. Prior to this, both had professional experience at the two-starred De Lindenhof in Giethoorn—Eggen served as chef while Donker fulfilled the role of maitre. De Groene Lantaarn is affiliated with Les Patrons Cuisiniers.
Housed within a historic Saxon farmhouse featuring sections dating from the late 18th century, the building has been operating as a restaurant since the mid-1980s. Before Eggen and Donker's acquisition, it functioned under various proprietors and names.
