De Karpendonkse Hoeve is an upscale dining establishment located in Eindhoven, Netherlands, that has consistently held a Michelin star every year since 1979.
The restaurant's current executive chef, Peter Koehn, assumed leadership in 1980, succeeding Peter Willems, who originally earned the Michelin recognition. In September 2017, Koehn declared his intention to retire, with Rob van der Veeken, previously the second head chef, designated as his successor.
In 2004, ownership transitioned to Ingrid van Eeghem from her father Leo van Eeghem, who founded the restaurant in 1973.
Ingrid van Eeghem frequently invites guest chefs to present a variety of culinary styles, featuring talents such as Paula DaSilva, the runner-up of Hell's Kitchen (U.S.) season 5, and Katsumasa Kitajima, an expert in Japanese kaiseki cuisine.
The establishment marked its 30th consecutive year of holding a Michelin star in 2007 and extended this streak to 35 years by 2014.
