Solo is a defunct restaurant in Gorinchem, Netherlands. It was a fine dining restaurant that was awarded one Michelin star in 2007 and retained that rating until 2012. [1] [2] [3] [4] On 2 September 2014 it was made known that the restaurant had closed down. [5]

The head chef of Solo in the period of the Michelin star was Mohammed el Harouchi. After his accident, sous chef Gerrit van den Berg took over. [6]

The restaurant lost its star due to the severe accident of head chef El Harouchi, in which he suffered a contusion of the brain stem. [7] There was no shock or confusion among staff, as everybody expected to lose the star due to the long absence of the head chef. [8]

The Dutch-Moroccan background of El Harouchi reflected in his cooking, which was in the basic French style but with Moroccan influences, herbs and tastes. [9]
