Tucked inside a 15th-century water mill, Restaurant de Ölliemölle blends history with refined dining. Once an oil and grain mill, the building still holds its original charm, with a working grinding section and exposed beams. Owners Roel Sieverink and Kim Blaauw have transformed this former bistro into an intimate fine dining restaurant, with just 28 seats and a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. Whether enjoying an aperitif by the fireplace or dining on the terrace overlooking the Berkel, guests are welcomed into an experience that values exceptional food, quality wines, and genuine hospitality. Recognised by Michelin, Gault&Millau, and Lekker 500, de Ölliemölle is making its mark.

Kim Blaauw
Kim Blaauw’s journey into the world of wine was unexpected but natural. Originally trained in real estate, she found herself drawn to the hospitality industry alongside Roel. Eager to learn, she earned her SDEN3 wine licence and developed a deep appreciation for how wine and food interact.

French Classics with a Modern Touch
Chef Roel Sieverink stays true to his passion for French cuisine, focusing on deep flavours, rich sauces, and expert cuisson. His menu is rooted in tradition but embraces a modern sensibility—flavour comes first, but aesthetics are never overdone. The homarium downstairs ensures fresh lobsters and oysters year-round, while a curated wine selection, overseen by Kim Blaauw, enhances each dish. Expect a balance of indulgence and precision, where meat, fish, and carefully considered vegetarian options are paired with wines that complement rather than overshadow.
Exclusive Wine Events & Winemaker Dinners
Wine takes centre stage at de Ölliemölle, not just in pairings but in exclusive events. Collaborations with winemakers and trusted suppliers like Rabotvins from Belgium bring special tasting evenings and winemaker dinners to the restaurant. These events offer guests the chance to explore rare vintages, meet the makers, and experience food and wine pairings at their best. Whether an intimate evening with a Bordeaux expert or a lively tasting with fellow enthusiasts, these gatherings celebrate craftsmanship and passion.
Discover the Beauty of Borculo
Set along the Berkel River, Borculo is a picturesque town with a rich history dating back to the Middle Ages. Often referred to as the ‘Venice of the Achterhoek,’ its canals and historic buildings make it a favourite among walkers and cyclists. Beyond the natural beauty, the town offers cultural gems like the Crystal Museum, the Fire Museum, and art gallery De Weemhof. Whether exploring centuries-old streets or taking in the peaceful surroundings, Borculo provides the perfect backdrop for a visit to de Ölliemölle.
A New Chapter for a Storied Restaurant
Since taking over in 2022, Roel Sieverink and Kim Blaauw have guided de Ölliemölle through a transformation—from a beloved bistro to an ambitious fine dining destination. While the atmosphere remains welcoming and warm, the focus has shifted to precision, technique, and an ever-growing reputation. With Michelin and Gault&Millau recognition already secured, their journey is only beginning.
Stay the Night in the Charming B&B
Just steps from the restaurant, ‘De Galerie’ offers two elegant B&B rooms for those who wish to extend their experience. Guests can book a food and stay package, ensuring their fine dining evening flows seamlessly into a restful night. The same attention to detail that defines the restaurant is reflected here, with comfort, hospitality, and an idyllic setting creating a complete getaway.
We want guests to feel at ease while experiencing something truly special—flavour, hospitality, and a setting that speaks for itself.
