How this list is chosen: Restaurants serving a tasting menu or omakase, listed alphabetically. Updated October 8, 2026.

't Pestengasthuys
Inside a building dating to 1450 on Zwolle's Weversgildeplein, 't Pestengasthuys occupies one of the city's most characterful dining rooms, red brick, timber beams, and a mezzanine that rewards those who look up. The kitchen works with local, organic ingredients and treats humbler produce, rabbit among them, with the same care as premium cuts.
De Librije
3 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
De Librije has held three Michelin stars since 2004, making it one consistently decorated restaurant in the Netherlands over the past quarter-century. Housed in a converted women's prison in Zwolle, it operates Thursday through Saturday evenings under chef and co-owner Nelson Tanate, with a programme built on regional produce, fermentation, and a vegetable-led approach that shaped modern Dutch cooking.
NOÏS
Deep wine list
At Oude Vismarkt 10 in Zwolle's historic centre, NOÏS operates without a written menu, Chef Vincent van Benthem presents options verbally, then builds imaginative, plant-forward courses that have earned a Michelin Plate in 2025. Front-of-house host Laura pairs the experience with a considered wine list she navigates with confidence. A €€€ price point makes this one of the stronger value propositions in the city's modern cuisine tier.
Restaurant Affect
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred address on Zwolle's Thorbeckegracht canal, Restaurant Affect pairs a dual-format menu with a wine program earning White Star recognition from Star Wine List. Chef Lars Aukema, trained under Jonnie Boer at De Librije, builds dishes around regional flavours and global technique, with both a set menu and à la carte available to diners.
Sukerieje
Housed within the storied walls of Hopmanshuis, Sukerieje reimagines luxury dining with a refined, vegetable-forward philosophy and an adventurous palate. Chef Yannick Roodhof channels global influences into graceful, concentrated flavors—think silky cashew “pâté” enlivened by melon and a whisper of chili—while slow-simmered sauces add depth and resonance. The result is a quietly heady experience: textural finesse, radiant acidity, and elegant spice woven together in a polished, character-rich setting designed for lingering conversation and discovery. For travelers seeking culinary intrigue and assured craftsmanship, Sukerieje is a confident, modern table set for memorable evenings.
