Wolvega, Netherlands
Restaurant Smink
Inside a national monument dating to 1625, Restaurant Smink holds a Michelin star in Wolvega, Friesland, a province where fine dining is defined more by agricultural roots than urban restaurant culture. Chef Jan Smink's surprise menus work with textures and temperatures in ways that feel rooted in the northern Dutch countryside without defaulting to rusticism. It is among the more compelling reasons to drive into the Frisian interior.
