De Willem

Side before self

Most restaurant owners, often early on, come to recognize the value of an enthusiastic and motivated team. Skills can be taught; genuine passion cannot. At De Willem, the staff’s drive to contribute to the restaurant’s success is evident—and it shows on the plate. Carefully composed dishes emerge from the kitchen, subtly flirting with Asian flavors. The foundation remains Dutch ingredients, though never in a dogmatic way. The result is a lively place with an equally lively menu, matched by a wine list full of energy.
