Tacite
Two Aan de Poel alumni run their first restaurant in Willemspark: a French-based five-course menu at €94, new every four to five weeks.
Chef Joris Koudstaal and maître Daan van Splunteren met at Aan de Poel, and both also worked at MOS and De Nederlanden. Tacite is their first restaurant; the name means tacit. It opened at the end of April 2026 in the former Cavataria on Cornelis Krusemanstraat. The cooking has a French base, with seasonal produce, North Sea fish and sauces. Dinner is five courses for €94, lunch four courses for €66, and the menu changes every four to five weeks. The current menu opens with scallops, celery, kaffir lime and coffee and has wild pigeon with sauerkraut, almonds and cecina de León before figs with honey, pecans and white chocolate. The wine list runs from Germany to Spain, with bottles from €39 to €700. No critic has reviewed Tacite yet.
Dinner Wednesday to Saturday, lunch Thursday to Saturday, closed Sunday to Tuesday. Book through the website.
