Tollius

Tollius sits at the foot of the Amersfoortse Berg, and honestly, it’s the kind of place that makes you want to cancel your plans and just stay. Chef Barry Hamstra runs the kitchen, and the whole spot is built around seasonal ingredients, bold flavors, and wines that actually match the food instead of just being an afterthought. It’s been noticed by the Michelingids and Gault Millau, so yeah, they’re doing something right. The vibe is intimate, like being in someone’s living room, but the kind of living room where the food makes you stop mid-conversation. You can come for lunch Wednesday through Saturday, or dinner Tuesday through Saturday, and if you’re bringing a group, there are private rooms for when you don’t want the whole restaurant hearing your business. There’s also a wine cellar for private dining, plus catering if you want to bring the Tollius experience somewhere else. What makes it worth it? It’s not fussy, despite the gastronomy label. The motto is “eenvoud is niet eenvoud…
