Restaurant De Trechter is a defunct restaurant in Amsterdam, in the Netherlands. It was a fine dining restaurant that was awarded one Michelin star in 1985 and retained that rating until 1995. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
Owner and head chef of De Trechter was Jan de Wit. [8] [9] De Wit closed down De Trechter and moved on to restaurant De Nederlanden , after a conflict about bins and binbags with the municipality of Amsterdam. [10] [11]
About the conflict he said:
"In Frankrijk legt de overheid een weg aan naar een sterrenzaak, bij mij zetten ze de vuilniszakken voor de deur."
English: "In France, the government built a road to a star restaurant, to me they put the garbage outside the door." [12]
After closure of De Trechter the building was taken over by restaurant En Route, that was replaced in 2008 by Magnolia. [13]
