Restaurant in Hertogenbosch, Netherlands
Michelin-recognised plant-forward tasting menus, strong setting.
Noble Gastro House holds a Michelin Plate (2025) and a We're Smart Green Guide listing, making it 's-Hertogenbosch's clearest choice for plant-forward contemporary tasting menus. Set in a historical building on the city wall with views over Bossche Broek, it outperforms peers on setting at the €€€ price point. Book two to three weeks ahead for weekend evenings.
If you're weighing Noble Gastro House against Fabuleux or Pollevie for a special occasion dinner in 's-Hertogenbosch, Noble has a clearer identity: a Michelin-recognised contemporary kitchen with a serious commitment to plant-forward cooking, set inside one of the most architecturally arresting buildings in the city. For a celebration meal where the setting does as much work as the food, it earns its place at the leading of the shortlist.
Noble occupies a historical building on Wilhelminaplein 1, positioned directly on the city wall with views over the Bossche Broek nature area. The physical setting is the first thing that separates Noble from its €€€ peers in 's-Hertogenbosch. Where Japans Restaurant Shiro delivers intimacy through a focused interior, Noble uses its location to create occasion before the first course arrives. The contrast between a centuries-old fortification and a contemporary tasting menu format gives the room a character that is hard to replicate elsewhere in the city. For anniversary dinners, milestone celebrations, or business meals where the surroundings matter, this is the most spatially compelling option in 's-Hertogenbosch at the €€€ price point.
Noble holds a Michelin Plate (2025) and is listed in the We're Smart Green Guide, which tracks restaurants with a serious commitment to vegetable-led cooking. The kitchen is led by chefs Edwin Cats and Bart Klom, and the programme centres on a 5- or 7-course tasting menu available in a full plant version. The plant menu is not a concession to dietary restriction — it is one of the kitchen's main arguments. The We're Smart Green Guide recognition means Noble sits alongside venues like De Librije in Zwolle and Ciel Bleu in Amsterdam in a national conversation about technique-driven contemporary cooking. À la carte options with plant dishes are also available for diners who prefer not to commit to the full tasting format.
The kitchen tracks seasonal produce closely, which means the menu changes through the year. If you are returning for a second visit, the format will feel consistent but the dishes will not. That is worth knowing before you book.
Noble is the right call for diners who want a tasting menu format with a genuine point of view on vegetables, a setting that justifies the occasion, and a price tier that sits at €€€ without requiring the full commitment of a two- or three-Michelin-star reservation. It is also a strong choice for guests who need to accommodate plant-based or vegetarian diners without splitting the table across two menus — the kitchen's plant credentials mean the full plant tasting menu is a first-tier option, not a fallback.
For guests who prefer à la carte flexibility over a structured tasting progression, Noble accommodates that too, though the kitchen's identity is more fully expressed through the multi-course format. If you are bringing a group of six or more for a celebration, call ahead , the venue's historical layout and location on the city wall are assets, but seat count is unconfirmed in available data, and larger parties benefit from early coordination.
Noble carries a Google rating of 4.5 across 499 reviews, which is consistent with a venue that delivers reliably at its price point rather than one that polarises opinion. Booking difficulty is rated as easy relative to the 's-Hertogenbosch fine dining market, which means you are unlikely to face the multi-week lead times required at the most sought-after Dutch tables. That said, for a specific Saturday evening or a date tied to an anniversary or birthday, booking two to three weeks ahead is sensible. Weekend evenings and the approach to public holidays fill faster than midweek slots.
No online booking URL is confirmed in available data. The most direct route is to contact the venue at Wilhelminaplein 1, 5211 CG 's-Hertogenbosch. Cross-reference current hours before visiting, as they are not confirmed in this record.
Noble Gastro House is the most spatially compelling fine dining option in 's-Hertogenbosch and the strongest choice if plant-forward tasting menus matter to your group. The Michelin Plate and We're Smart Green Guide recognition together signal a kitchen operating with both technical seriousness and a clear culinary position. At €€€, it is priced in line with Pollevie and Fabuleux, but the combination of setting and plant credentials gives it a distinct profile. If the city wall location and a vegetable-led tasting menu sound like the right frame for your occasion, book it. If you want classic French technique without the plant focus, Fabuleux is the more natural fit.

Likely yes, but call ahead for parties of six or more. The historical building on the city wall is a strong setting for group celebrations, but confirmed seat count is not publicly available. Advance coordination will help with table configuration and menu planning, particularly if your group wants the full plant tasting menu across the board.
Go for the 7-course tasting menu if you want the full range of what chefs Edwin Cats and Bart Klom are doing. The plant version of that menu is the kitchen's strongest argument and is recognised by the We're Smart Green Guide. If you prefer flexibility, à la carte plant dishes are available and reflect the same seasonal and technical approach.
Yes, and more thoroughly than most at this price point. The 5- or 7-course tasting menu has a full plant version designed as a first-tier menu, not an afterthought. For other dietary needs, contact the venue directly before booking , phone and website details are not confirmed in current data, so reach out via the address at Wilhelminaplein 1.
Yes, particularly the plant version. The Michelin Plate (2025) and We're Smart Green Guide listing together confirm that the kitchen is operating at a level that justifies the tasting menu format. The 7-course option gives you more range than the 5-course; for a special occasion where you want the full picture, the longer format is the better spend. For comparison, Aan de Poel in Amstelveen and Brut172 in Reijmerstok are other Dutch contemporary tasting menu options at a similar tier.
At €€€, yes , if a tasting menu format suits your group. The setting alone (city wall, views over Bossche Broek) adds value that comparable €€€ venues in 's-Hertogenbosch do not offer. The Michelin Plate recognition provides a credibility floor. If you want the same price tier with classic cuisine rather than contemporary plant-forward cooking, Fabuleux is the alternative to consider.
It is one of the better special occasion choices in 's-Hertogenbosch. The location on the city wall is the kind of setting that makes an evening feel considered before the food arrives. The tasting menu format suits celebratory pacing. For anniversaries or milestone dinners where both atmosphere and kitchen quality matter, it holds up well against Pollevie and edges ahead on setting. For a business meal where you need reliable, neutral ground, it works , though the tasting menu format requires buy-in from all guests on time and structure.
Pollevie is the closest like-for-like at €€€ contemporary. Fabuleux covers classic cuisine at the same price tier if you want French-leaning technique over plant-forward cooking. For a lower price point, Auberge de Veste and Citrus both offer farm-to-table cooking at €€, which is worth considering if the tasting menu format feels like a significant commitment. For Japanese at the €€€ tier, Japans Restaurant Shiro is the city's main option.

What to weigh when choosing between Noble Gastro House and alternatives.
Noble's tasting menu format (5 or 7 courses) works best for small groups of 2–6 who are aligned on the vegetable-led format. Tasting menu restaurants at the €€€ price point rarely flex well for larger parties with mixed preferences. check the venue's official channels via Wilhelminaplein 1 to confirm private dining or group capacity before assuming availability.
Go for the 7-course vegetable menu — it's the format that the We're Smart Green Guide and the Michelin Plate recognition are built around. Chefs Edwin Cats and Bart Klom also offer a 'menu prestige' in a plant version, which is worth choosing over the shorter option if the occasion justifies it. À la carte is available, but the tasting menu is where Noble's kitchen makes its clearest case.
Noble's entire menu concept is built around vegetables, so plant-based diners are well-served by default — the We're Smart Green Guide listing confirms a genuine commitment to that format rather than a token option. For other dietary restrictions, check the venue's official channels; tasting menu kitchens at this level typically accommodate requests with advance notice, but specifics aren't documented in the available venue record.
At the €€€ price point with a Michelin Plate (2025) and a We're Smart Green Guide listing, the 5- or 7-course vegetable menu is a credible spend for diners who want a structured, technique-led meal. If you want à la carte flexibility or a meat-centred menu, Noble is not the right format — consider Fabuleux instead. For vegetable-forward tasting menus in this region, Noble has the clearest credentials.
For what you're paying at €€€, Noble delivers: a Michelin Plate (2025), a historically significant building on the city wall overlooking Bossche Broek, and a kitchen with a defined point of view rather than a generic fine dining menu. Its Google rating of 4.5 across nearly 500 reviews points to consistent delivery. It's worth the price if plant-forward tasting menus are your format — less so if you're expecting a conventional fine dining spread.
Yes — Noble is the strongest special occasion option in 's-Hertogenbosch if your party is aligned on a tasting menu format. The setting on the medieval city wall overlooking the Bossche Broek nature area gives the dinner a sense of occasion that Fabuleux and Pollevie don't match physically. Book the 7-course menu and request a table with a view when reserving.
Fabuleux is the most direct alternative for fine dining at a comparable price point without the vegetable-forward focus. Pollevie is worth considering if you want something less formal. Citrus and Japans restaurant Shiro offer different cuisine formats — Shiro is the call if you want Japanese rather than contemporary European. Auberge de Veste rounds out the city's fine dining options with a more traditional profile.
