The fine dining venue De Oude Geleerde Man, located in Bennebroek, Netherlands, held a prestigious Michelin star from 1980 until 1990. The establishment ceased operations shortly after 1991.
In 1970, the restaurant was purchased by Arie Siliakus, who later sold it in 1990 to acquire De Hoop op d’Swarte Walvis. The period from 1981 to 1986 saw Jean Jacques Menanteau at the helm as head chef.
Since 2009, the site has been occupied by a Chinese-Japanese eatery, preserving its continuous function as a dining spot dating back to 1683.
The name De Oude Geleerde Man is also recognized from the poem Lofzang aan de Oude Geleerde Man, authored by Gerrit van Lennep (1774–1833).
