Kaatje bij de Sluis is a restaurant situated in Blokzijl, Netherlands, renowned as a fine dining venue that has maintained one or two Michelin stars from 1978 onward, with the exception of 2005. It has been awarded 16.0 points by GaultMillau.

The establishment's current executive chef is Peter Postma, who took over from André Mol, the chef responsible for achieving the two-star distinction. This restaurant is also a member of the Alliance Gastronomique Néerlandaise.

Positioned in the heart of Blokzijl near the sluices, the restaurant's name is inspired by the tale of "Kaatje," a young woman who once managed the kitchen at the inn called "In den Gouden Walvisch."
