Herberg Onder de Linden is a restaurant situated in Aduard, Netherlands, recognized as a fine dining restaurant that has held a Michelin star continuously since 1992. This enduring accolade highlights the establishment's exceptional culinary quality.[1] Additionally, it earned a score of 16.0 out of 20 from GaultMillau.[2]
This venue carries forward the tradition established by Le Mérinos d'Or, a Michelin-starred eatery located in Groningen. The head chef, Geerhard Slenema, successfully transferred the Michelin star to Onder de Linden, which was awarded its own star on the basis of its own achievements in 1992.[3]
The building, originally constructed as a tavern in 1735, was purchased and restored by Geerhard Slenema along with his wife Petra in 1990 after a period of deterioration. Following renovation, it was rebranded as Herberg Onder de Linden.[4]
On 7 July 2016, at the age of 65, Slenema declared his retirement and announced the closure of Herberg Onder de Linden. The premises were then acquired by the Michelin-starred restaurant In de Molen, which relocated from Onderdendam and commenced operations there on 2 November 2016, preserving both its original name and Michelin distinction.[5]
