The story
De Hinde is a restaurant and inn at 't Oost 4 in Hindeloopen, listed in Koudum, Netherlands, with a seasonal kitchen that earned a Gault&Millau score of 13 for 2026 and a Michelin Recommended mention in the same year. The address and the city field differ, so the postal address is the one to trust for finding the door.
Chef Harmen Ligthart cooks with local produce and with vegetables from his own kitchen garden. The garden gives the kitchen a direct line to what is growing nearby, which shapes the plates more than any fixed template could.
The restaurant sits at the edge of the Hindeloopen marina, and it has outdoor seating for warmer days. During the winter season, only a modified lunch menu is served, so visits in colder months follow a shorter schedule.
