Aan de Zweth

What Aan de Zweth does

Aan de Zweth is a privately held fine dining restaurant operating under Aan de Zweth B.V. from a waterfront location in Zweth/Schipluiden, between Rotterdam and Delft in South Holland, Netherlands. The venue occupies the historic premises of the former De Zwethheul, a name long associated with Dutch haute cuisine, and was rebranded under new owner-operators — chef Justin Koopman and maître Indy Chiron Akkermans — both of whom bring prior experience across multiple Michelin-recognized Dutch restaurants. The restaurant operates Wednesday through Saturday for lunch and dinner and Sunday for continuous service from 12:00 to 19:00, with 11 employees in total.

The core product is seasonal, contemporary French-inspired cuisine delivered through a tiered tasting menu (4, 5, or 6 courses at €85, €95, and €110 respectively), an à la carte menu, lunch options (3-course €65, 4-course €75), and a €99 business lunch designed to complete in roughly one hour. Premium add-on experiences include an exclusive Chef's Table at €195 per person, where guests dine inside the kitchen, and a private dining room for groups up to 25 with custom menus and wine pairings. Digital gift cards in €50-€500 denominations are sold via a WooCommerce storefront.

Revenue is generated exclusively through on-premise dining, private events, and gift card e-commerce, with no delivery, catering, or licensing lines. The technology stack is conventional small-business infrastructure (WordPress, GA4, Google Tag Manager) and there is no disclosed investor, parent, or subsidiary structure — ownership is concentrated with the founding duo. The business serves a regional South Holland clientele of individual fine-dining enthusiasts, business diners and private-event bookers, with marketing driven primarily through the restaurant's own website, Instagram and search.
