Villa Rozenrust
Restaurant in Leidschendam, Netherlands
Villa Rozenrust is a restaurant in Leidschendam, Netherlands. It is a fine dining restaurant that was awarded one Michelin star in 1976 and retained that rating until 1989. In 1993 it was again awarded a Michelin star and retained that rating until 1999.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
One of the head chefs that worked here, was Cees Helder, later to become the first Dutch head chef to be rewarded three Michelin stars.[8] Other head chefs were Huub Biro, Roberto de Luca, Christian van der Linden, Danny van Wessel and Luca Malagnino.[9][10]
In the second star period, head chef was Marcel van Lier, who took over from Lambert Stuifbergen in 1994.[11]
The restaurant was founded by Giovanni Matarazzi.[12] He sold the restaurant in 1998. After that, several owners came in and went again in quick succession, until in 2007 the Raimondi family took over and ownership stabilized.[13][14]
In 2006 the restaurant changed course, shed of the Dutch-Italian-styled kitchen and went over to a pure Italian styled kitchen.[15] At present, the restaurant carries the name Raimondi's Villa Rozenrust.[16]
