— Welcome

Inspiro is a small kitchen on the edge of the canal, where each plate is shaped by what the morning brings — vegetables pulled from our garden in Westerpark, fish landed at IJmuiden, and the quiet rhythm of cooking with fire and time.

Established 2019

•

32 seats

•

Set menu, six courses

— The Place

A long room with linen tablecloths, candlelight and very few rules.

We seat thirty‑two people at a time. There is one menu, six courses, and a wine list built around small growers we visit every winter. Come hungry, stay late, and bring people you actually want to talk to.

Hours

Monday Closed
Tue – Thu 18:00 — 22:30
Fri – Sat 18:00 — 23:30
Sunday 12:00 — 16:00

Sunday lunch is a four‑course family menu. Children are welcome.

 

— Our Kitchen

“We don’t write the menu. The garden does, and the boats at IJmuiden, and a handful of farmers we’ve known for years. Our work is to listen, then cook with restraint.”

— Laurent Morel, Chef

— The Garden

Two thousand square metres, ten minutes by bike.

Our garden in Westerpark gives us roughly 60% of what arrives on the plate — herbs, salads, soft fruit, edible flowers. The rest comes from a small circle of growers: Hartog’s for grain, Remeker for dairy, Lindenhoff for meat, the IJmuiden auction for fish.

— The Chef

Laurent Morel

Born in Lyon and trained under three Michelin-starred mentors across France, Italy, and Japan, Chef Laurent Morel brings a rare fusion of classical technique and eastern restraint to every dish. His cooking is defined by precision, patience, and a deep respect for ingredients. In 2019, he returned to Europe to open Inspiro — his most personal project yet.
