Champagne! These Haarlem restaurants retain their star in the new Michelin guide

Two Haarlem restaurants, Ratatouille Food & Wine and ML, have retained their Michelin stars in the 2026 guide. The announcement coincided with the centenary celebration of the first Michelin star award, while Michelin also introduced a new sustainability-focused recognition called Mindful Voices.

Two prominent Haarlem restaurants, Ratatouille Food & Wine and ML, have successfully maintained their Michelin star status in the newly released 2026 guide. The announcement was made during an awards ceremony held on October 5 in Maastricht, which marked a significant milestone as it commemorated 100 years since the first Michelin star was awarded in France. Across the Netherlands, a total of 119 restaurants currently hold star status, including seven newcomers and two establishments that were promoted to two stars.

This year's edition also introduced a shift in focus regarding sustainability, replacing the previous green star category with a new concept called Mindful Voices to honor chefs committed to environmentally conscious practices. While establishments like De Librije in Zwolle remain the only three-star venue in the country, the culinary scene in Haarlem continues to be recognized for its consistent quality. Local diners can continue to enjoy these high-caliber dining experiences, as both featured Haarlem restaurants have retained their prestigious accolades in the latest edition of the guide.
