Truite d'Or is a defunct restaurant in Gulpen, Netherlands. It was a fine dining restaurant that was awarded one Michelin star in 1977 and retained that rating until 1980.[1][2]
Head chefs of the restaurant in the time of the star were Theo Kurvers (1977) and Karel Swart (1978-1980).[3][4]
History
The restaurant finds it origin in a trout farm, built by the Nederlandsche Heidemaatschappij around 1898. Later, the farm was opened for visitors. The visitors could enjoy fresh trout in the restaurant beside the fish pool.[5] In January 1967, the restaurant is first mentioned as being named Truite d'Or.[6] In the beginning the restaurant was solely focused on trout, but after the take over by Martin Snellen, the card was widened.[7] In 1976, the restaurant was renovated into a more French style.[8] In 1977, head chef Theo Kurvers left and owner Martin Snellen decided to appoint Maître d'hôtel (and replacement chef) Karel Swart as the new head chef.[9] In 1982, Snellen sold the restaurant but the new owners could not save the restaurant and it closed in 1985.[10][11]
