The story
Set against the quiet backdrop of the Waalre forests, De Treeswijkhoeve occupies a softly white farmhouse that feels both timeless and welcoming. The restaurant’s terrace and tastefully appointed interior invite guests to settle in for an evening of discovery. Here, the setting is as deliberate as the cooking: a place where nature and craftsmanship meet, and where hospitality is personal.
Chef Dick Middelweerd and hostess Anne-Laura are the driving forces of this kitchen. Together, they guide guests through a menu rooted in the new Dutch cuisine — a style that emphasises creativity, technique, and deep respect for local produce. The cooking is described as a sensory experience, one where each dish reveals a new layer of flavour and texture. The team’s pride in their work is evident, and the tone is warm, unhurried, and attentive.
De Treeswijkhoeve holds two Michelin stars, a recognition of its “excellent cooking” and consistent refinement. The award sits naturally within the restaurant’s philosophy: every element, from the seasonal menus to the private dining room, is crafted with care. The restaurant also produces its own gin, hosts summer barbecues, and offers a “New Harvest Menu” in spring — all expressions of a kitchen that celebrates the rhythms of the year.
Dinner at De Treeswijkhoeve is a leisurely affair, with lunch and dinner service from Wednesday through Sunday. The restaurant’s own words capture the spirit: “genieten met een grote G” — enjoying with a capital E. There is no pretence, only a genuine commitment to making guests feel at home while exploring the best of modern Dutch cooking.
