FG Restaurant

FG Restaurant is a two-Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant in Rotterdam, led by chef François Geurds — one of the Netherlands’ most celebrated and technically innovative culinary figures, a chef whose approach to cooking combines the classical precision of high-level French gastronomy with an experimental spirit rooted in his concept of the ‘flavor laboratory.’ The restaurant maintains its own dedicated taste research facility and operates a partnership with Foodlab Leiden — a collaboration between Leiden University and Leiden University of Applied Sciences — reflecting Geurds’s conviction that culinary excellence requires continuous scientific and creative inquiry rather than the repetition of established techniques. The tasting menu presents dishes of considerable complexity and refinement, combining premium ingredients — including Kobe beef and Siberian sturgeon caviar from the restaurant’s own bar — with techniques and flavor combinations developed through this ongoing research process. The wine list contains over 1,350 references and has received international recognition for its depth and curation. The dining room is elegant and contemporary. Service is highly professional and attentive. FG has held two Michelin stars since 2014 and is widely regarded as one of the finest gastronomic experiences in the Netherlands. Its combination of two-star culinary ambition, extraordinary wine program, and the scientific curiosity that drives the flavor laboratory make FG one of the most distinctive and intellectually engaging fine dining experiences in the Netherlands.
