De Hooge Heerlijkheid is an eatery located in Middelharnis, Netherlands. It functioned as a gourmet dining venue that received a single Michelin star between 1975 and 1992, and again from 1995 to 1996.
The restaurant was founded in 1969 by John Kern, who also served as head chef and was a founding member of Les Patrons Cuisiniers, together with his wife Wieke. Initially a pancake house, they elevated the establishment to Michelin-star status. Their son, Mark Kern, succeeded them before passing culinary leadership to Maurice Montero Lowes in 2011. Following this transition, Mark initiated a seafood retail and wholesale enterprise named "Poisson & Cuisine." Presently, the restaurant is available solely for private group reservations.
