The fine dining venue De Trechter, situated in Amsterdam, Netherlands, held a prestigious Michelin star from 1985 through 1995.
The establishment was owned and led by head chef Jan de Wit. Following a disagreement with the Amsterdam municipal authorities regarding waste disposal regulations, De Wit decided to shut down De Trechter and later took charge at the restaurant De Nederlanden. Regarding the dispute, De Wit stated:
Once De Trechter ceased operations, the premises were occupied by the restaurant En Route, which itself was succeeded in 2008 by Magnolia.
