Parkheuvel is an upscale dining establishment situated in Rotterdam, Netherlands, that has been consistently honored with Michelin stars since 1990, achieving the highest distinction of three stars at its peak. It boasts a GaultMillau score of 18.0 out of 20.
The restaurant is positioned at Heuvellaan 21 within a semicircular contemporary pavilion, which offers views of the Nieuwe Maas river and the Rotterdam Harbour, and is designed with an art deco aesthetic.
In 2002, under the leadership of head chef Cees Helder, Parkheuvel became the first restaurant in the Netherlands to receive three Michelin stars. After Helder's departure in 2006, Erik van Loo, previously chef at the two-star De Zwethheul, took over; however, the establishment's rating dropped to one star. By 2009, Van Loo had restored the restaurant’s second star, solidifying Parkheuvel’s position within the elite fine dining sector.
