The restaurant is located on a dyke at the banks of the river Muese (or “Maas”). In the summer time, the terras offers a great view at the river and from mid 2016, there will be a brand new area where you can dock your boat if you travel over the water.

The Blauwe Sluis is located at the edge of the City of ‘s-Hertogenbosch and has a unique location, multiple terras locations to lounge, drink or eat and a great indoor experience.

The kitchen brigade, managed by the owner Rens Kemp creates the finest local dishes from eel with parma ham, a great rib roast or the best tournedos in town, all prepared with local ingredients.

**** Ristorante Bellagio, Den Bosch, Netherlands

The Ristorante Bellagio is a fine Italian diner with great food and a very nice atmosphere in the center of Den Bosch (‘s-Hertogenbosch).  The restaurant is located in the old part of Den Bosch near “the Uylenburg”. The tables and diner chairs are very comfortable and spacious. When eating on the second floor, you can enjoy the fireplace in the winter time.

The filetto con salsa al tartufo (tournedos with truffle) was a blast. Cooked to perfection with a great sauce. If you like meat this is the one to go for.

***** Restaurant Noble, Den Bosch, Noord-Brabant, Netherlands

It is always great to see when you are right longer term. In this case, I predicted when I wrote about restaurant Noble back in 2015, they would get a Michelin start. I was right! Noble team: congratulations with your first star that you received in December 2016.

Restaurant Noble is one of the best places to eat if you are in the ‘s-Hertogenbosch (Den Bosch, the “Forest of the Duke”) area. The restaurant (and art gallary) is situated in the distinguished Chalet Royal building in ’s-Hertogenbosch. On arrival, you will immediately notice that Noble has a lot to offer: you can dine in our informal restaurant, have a relaxed drink at the bar or enjoy an intimate dinner in our comfortable private dining area. In the summer time, the terrace is the place to be for lunch or dinner overlooking the river surrounding the city. The basement offers a meeting room, Illusio, with room for groups up to 12 people.

The food is an experience and it would not surprise me if they will be noticed by the Michelin Guide one day. That said, it became better and better over time and since they opened the doors a few years ago. The wine list offers a unique choice and belongs to the finest you can get from Australia to New Zealand and from Austria to South Africa.

Isn’t it great when you get a marvelous white and you want a red from the same winery but it is not on the list? Well ask the sommelier, he might surprise you (right Erik:)?).  A tip for other restaurant (or hotel for that matter) owners: have a look at Noble’s Facebook site. This is how a very good sample how to promote your business using social media. As you can see, there is a lot going on here! As said, a place to go whenever in Den Bosch.
