Tante Koosje, Michelin star restaurant in Loenen aan de Vecht, Netherlands.
Tante Koosje is a Michelin-starred restaurant housed in a historic building on the village square of Loenen aan de Vecht. The space features a terrace lined with pollarded trees, positioned near the local church.
The restaurant opened in 2005 within a former private residence, converting a traditional Dutch home into an upscale dining venue. This transformation preserved the building's original character while accommodating a refined culinary operation.
The name honors Koosje Edema, the former resident whose home now serves diners, connecting the space to its local community roots. Modern French cooking here incorporates ingredients and flavors tied to the Stichtse Vecht region's agricultural traditions.
The restaurant operates Monday through Saturday from 6 PM to 10 PM and requires reservations by phone or email. Visitors should plan ahead for parking in the village and arrive early to secure a spot.
The restaurant houses an impressive wine collection in a dedicated cellar built beneath the main dining area. This underground space doubles as a private dining room for groups and special occasions.
