Fine dining near Den Bosch: what to expect at Hendrik van Maurick
If you are looking for fine dining near Den Bosch, you only need to leave the city for ten minutes. In Vught, on an island in the river Dommel, stands Kasteel Maurick. Inside is Restaurant Hendrik van Maurick, the castle's fine dining restaurant, listed in the MICHELIN Guide.
What fine dining means here
The starting point is classic French cooking: the sauces, the stocks and the techniques. On that foundation the kitchen builds with Dutch produce and influences from further afield. The MICHELIN Guide inspectors put it this way: behind a classic-looking menu lie inventive dishes in which Dutch produce is seasoned the French way.
This cooking is elaborate, lively and ambitious!
The kitchen is led by Culinary Director Niek van Lieverloo and head chef Jop Schreurs. Maître sommelier Lesley Visser chooses the wines to go with the menu.
How the menu works
- Tasting menu: three to seven courses, from €51 to €97 per person.
- Vegetable menu: the same structure with vegetables in the leading role, from €48 to €90.
- À la carte: starters from €18, main courses from €30.
- On Friday and Saturday evenings the menu starts at four courses.
Every menu comes with a wine pairing, in full or half glasses and also alcohol-free. It costs €28.50 with three courses, rising to €66 with seven. Are you vegetarian or vegan, or do you have an allergy? Let us know when you book and the kitchen will adapt the menu.
A Michelin-starred restaurant?
Anyone searching for a Michelin-starred restaurant near Den Bosch will come across us too. So, to be clear: Hendrik van Maurick is listed in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide, but does not hold a star. A listing means the inspectors have visited and included the restaurant in the guide, with its own description. A star is a separate distinction.
What makes it special: the setting
You dine within the walls of a castle whose history goes back to 1257, on an island in the Dommel, surrounded by woodland and water. It has been a restaurant since 2015. The fire burns in the dining room, and if you arrive a little early you can first walk around the island and along the moat.
Even more personal: the chef's table
At the chef's table you do not sit in the restaurant but at your own table in the kitchen. Head chef Jop Schreurs prepares and explains each dish as it comes together. The chef's table seats up to four guests, serves at least seven courses and is available on request.
