Seinpost is a restaurant located in Scheveningen, Netherlands, known for its focus on French and seafood dishes. This fine dining venue was awarded one Michelin star from 1985 until 1989 and reclaimed the accolade starting in 2006, maintaining it to the present day. Additionally, it was recognized with a Bib Gourmand honor from 2001 through 2003.
The establishment earned a score of 17.0 out of 20 from GaultMillau. Since 1996, the kitchen has been under the direction of head chef Gert-Jan Cieremans, who previously gained experience at the Michelin-starred Parkheuvel under chef Cees Helder. The initial Michelin-starred chef at Seinpost was Henk Savelberg.
Founded in 1983 by "Tartuffe Holding," a company created by Henk Savelberg and his partners, Seinpost experienced a change when Savelberg departed in 1989 to establish Vreugd en Rust, which resulted in the loss of its Michelin star.
In 1986, politician Ed Nijpels took on the role of honorary commissioner for the firm managing Seinpost. After assuming a ministerial position, he stepped down; however, a delayed update to the Chamber of Commerce briefly led to controversy before it was settled.
