Eetkamer Lamens – Modern Cuisine in Ede, Michelin Recommended

The Story

Robbert and Naomi Philipsen bring decades of experience to their own place. He cooks, she hosts, and together they run Eetkamer Lamens in central Ede. The restaurant earned a spot in the Michelin Guide, where inspectors praised the “recognisable dishes flanked by Mediterranean, South American and Asian temptations.” Gault&Millau also took notice, awarding a first chef’s cap for this young addition.

The Food

The kitchen works around a Josper charcoal oven, grilling free-range chicken and short ribs with precision. The menu leans on worldly flavours — think steak tartare with spicy mayonnaise, or chicken with a boemboe Bali sauce, lively sambal and a sweet-sour salad of peanut, carrot and apple. Diners can choose from a three- or four-course set menu or order à la carte. The style is Modern Cuisine that feels both familiar and surprising, with deep sauces and bright acidity throughout. A warm apple crumble with caramel and yoghurt ice cream finishes the meal.

The Atmosphere

The space is a roomy brasserie with a light industrial edge, softened by genuine hospitality. In good weather, the smoke-free terrace opens up. The Philipsens’ focus is simple: an evening of relaxed enjoyment at a fair price. Service runs through family, and the warmth is tangible — from the welcome to the final bite.
