Het Broederenklooster
Situated in the historical city of Zutphen, Het Broederenklooster is not just a restaurant; it’s a testament to the harmonious marriage of rich history and modern culinary artistry. Within the walls of a monastery dating back to 1292, Chef Niels van Dooijeweert orchestrates a menu that weaves the precision of classic French cuisine with innovative global influences. Here, history is not only preserved in the architecture but also celebrated through a meticulously curated wine list that complements the chef’s creations.
Niels van Dooijeweert
Niels embarked on his culinary journey when he was just 12 years old, drawn to the bustling markets of Utrecht, which ignited his passion for exceptional ingredients. His career evolved through a series of prestigious kitchens, most notably the Michelin-starred Koetshuis in Bennekom. It was here that he refined his skills under the guidance of his future father-in-law and met his future wife, Marieke. Together, they launched Het Broederenklooster, a seamless blend of their personal and professional lives.
