Truite d'Or is a defunct restaurant in Gulpen, Netherlands. It was a fine dining restaurant that was awarded one Michelin star in 1977 and retained that rating until 1980. ^{[1] [2]}

History

The restaurant finds it origin in a trout farm, built by the Nederlandsche Heidemaatschappij around 1898. Later, the farm was opened for visitors. The visitors could enjoy fresh trout in the restaurant beside the fish pool. ^[5] In January 1967, the restaurant is first mentioned as being named Truite d'Or. ^[6] In the beginning the restaurant was solely focused on trout, but after the take over by Martin Snellen, the card was widened. ^[7] In 1976, the restaurant was renovated into a more French style. ^[8] In 1977, head chef Theo Kurvers left and owner Martin Snellen decided to appoint Maître d'hôtel (and replacement chef) Karel Swart as the new head chef. ^[9] In 1982, Snellen sold the restaurant but the new owners could not save the restaurant and it closed in 1985. ^{[10] [11]}
