Hostellerie De Hamert was a distinguished fine dining establishment located in Wellerlooi, Netherlands, celebrated for its seasonal preparations featuring asparagus. Founded in 1948, the restaurant was awarded a Michelin star in 1963, a distinction it retained until 1989. It also achieved a score of 12.0 out of 20 from GaultMillau.

For nearly four decades, the kitchen was under the direction of head chef Herman van Ham. In 1989, leadership transitioned to Bernard Lieftink, coinciding with the loss of its Michelin star.

As one of the original founding members of the Alliance Gastronomique Neerlandaise, Hostellerie De Hamert significantly influenced the Dutch fine dining scene.

The establishment ultimately filed for bankruptcy in 2019.
