First Michelin star for The White Room

Restaurant The White Room by Jacob Jan Boerma has been awarded with their first Michelin star during the annual Michelin Gala in Amsterdam on December 11th.  The signature restaurant of 3* Michelin chef Jacob Jan Boerma is led by Chef de Cuisine Arturo Dalhuisen and opened its doors only one and a half years ago in NH Collection Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky. Since then, the venue, food and team have been receiving praise by many critics and culinary aficionado’s. After being named best newcomer by Lekker500 by securing the sixty-second place on this renowned list and receiving 16 points by Gault&Millau earlier this year, the work of Dalhuisen and his team is now officially recognized by Michelin, with a prominent place in the Michelin Guide 2018.

I’m so very grateful! Grateful because Jacob Jan Boerma trusted me to lead the kitchen of The White Room, and even more grateful that Michelin has rewarded the work of our team with this important gastronomical award. Of course, we have fantasized about this star, but it has never been our motivation. We want to create a unique experience for our guests. I’m convinced that only that way, one can achieve perfection.

Arturo Dalhuisen, Chef de Cuisine
