16 BellamypleinThroughout his working life, Chef Dennis Huwaë was mostly at the helm of 2 Michelin** star kitchens. He very much enjoyed working at this high level, but he decided he would enjoy it even more without the solemn atmosphere and rigid service often found at these restaurants. He was looking for a place where anyone would feel welcome and at ease. He wanted to create an accessible restaurant, low key, but with an extremely high level of quality. He found this place in Restaurant Daalder and has been chef and
co-owner since 2016.
Dennis has taken restaurant Daalder to the next level. In order to involve his guests even more, he arranged the restaurant so that they can now watch the cooking from their seats at the bar.

The strength of the Italian cuisine is its purity, simplicity and honesty. In Toscanini we cook according to this tradition. Every day, except on Sundays, the chefs prepare dishes from carefully chosen ingredients. The vegetables come from organic farms or from Italy.
The meat is from the organic butcher and fish arrives fresh every day. We bake bread in our own bakery, and the pasta is homemade.
We work with various products of Slow Food presidia in Italy. Presidia are projects that enable small producers to keep working on a small-scale and artisanal basis while using the original products and production methods from their region.
The wine list features only wines from Italy, most made from native grape varieties. The large, bright space with open kitchen and the informal atmosphere is a main attraction of the restaurant.
