What Noble Kitchen does

Noble Kitchen is a privately held hospitality operator headquartered in Cromvoirt, North Brabant, Netherlands, with 26 employees. The company runs a multi-venue culinary platform within the Bernardus Golf & Wine estate at Deutersestraat 39B. Its core product is the Michelin-starred restaurant Nami, which serves Nikkei cuisine (a fusion of Japanese precision and South American influences) featuring a Robata grill, sushi counter, and an exclusive Chef's Table seating up to 16 guests. The company's legal entity is identified as Nami (per its privacy policy), and it operates as a subsidiary venue of the parent Bernardus Golf & Wine resort brand.

The business operates three integrated revenue streams: Nami fine dining with prix-fixe and à la carte menus, the Bernardus Café — a casual all-day bar-restaurant open seven days per week that received Gault&Millau's 'Terras van het Jaar 2025', and Bernardus Meetings & Events — a venue for corporate meetings, weddings, and private events with on-site catering. Complementary offerings include the Bernardus Lodge (8 guest rooms) and an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Kyle Phillips, the latter scheduled to host the Solheim Cup 2026.

Noble Kitchen makes money through direct-to-consumer restaurant covers, café covers, and event venue rental (with 50% deposits required a month in advance and 25% off-season discounts November–March). The go-to-market is regional, targeting affluent diners and corporate/private event clients in the Netherlands via telephone reservations, an online Guestplan booking module, walk-ins, and direct email contact. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Executive Head Chef Tom Schoonus (culinary leader since 2019, Michelin-starred since 2020) and Head of Hospitality Nina Kaalverink form the current leadership duo effective January 1, 2026.
