Plaza invites

CULINARY ENJOYMENT

Get to know our culinary concept: 'Plaza invites...'.

Once a month, our Michelin chef René Brienen cooks a 6-course fine dining dinner together with another star chef. Two chefs, one passion. Each edition features a new, specially composed menu. An evening where nothing is lacking.

On Saturday, June 27 and Sunday, June 28, René Brienen welcomes none other than Jan Smink from Restaurant Smink in Wolvega.

His kitchen, awarded with a Michelin star, is known for its contemporary character and strong connection to Friesland. With local ingredients, refined techniques, and a clear signature, he creates dishes that surprise and are balanced.

Together they provide a dinner where craftsmanship, creativity, and taste come together in a carefully constructed menu. An evening that stays with you, long after the last course has been served.
