Restaurant Hotel 't Ganzenest

What Restaurant Hotel 't Ganzenest does

Restaurant Hotel 't Ganzenest is a privately held, chef-owned fine dining venue and small boutique hotel in Rijswijk, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands, operated by Chef Erik Tas. Since May 2021, the restaurant has held one Michelin star and is listed in Gault Millau and Lekker500; Chef Tas also joined Les Patrons Cuisinier in 2023. The business operates from a single waterfront site on De Vliet (Rijn-Schiekanaal), adjacent to the Rijswijkse Golfclub, with 40 private parking spaces (including EV charging) and tram access.

The integrated offering combines a Michelin-level restaurant, boutique hotel suites with private terraces, a private dining room with boardroom setup, two Chef's Tables (installed during a summer 2023 kitchen renovation), off-site catering, and an official wedding venue designation from the municipality of Rijswijk. Menus range from a €65 lunch to a €195 five-course signature dinner featuring Wagyu A5; hotel packages bundle aperitif, five-course dinner, suite stay and breakfast for two persons at €475-€750 depending on weekday/weekend arrival. Gift vouchers (€50-€500) are distributed via the third-party platform eathoreca.nl.

Revenue is generated entirely through direct-to-consumer transactions: à la carte and tasting menu dining, Chef's Table experiences, hotel package sales, weddings and private events, corporate meetings, and off-site catering. The GTM is primarily direct via the venue's own website (with Frank App reservation integration), supplemented by newsletter, event programming (wine tastings, themed dinners), and earned-media listings (Michelin, Gault Millau, Lekker500). The company employs 14 staff, is independently owned with no disclosed funding or parent entity, and Chef Tas also operates the Bib-gourmand restaurant Bij Erik in Leidschendam.
