(MEI opened the pop-up Dichtbij MEI at its familiar address in 2026) In the exceptionally charming centre of Amersfoort, this restaurant offers a relaxed and intimate dining experience complete with warm hospitality and astute wine recommendations. Ingeborgh Blok leads the front-of-house team with effortless grace while Marco gets on with creating dishes that showcase local ingredients with his intuitive approach. Vegetables, herbs and infusions dominate, with fish or meat making occasional appearances. Highlights include with vibrantly presented aubergine and a delicately acidic tomato and chamomile broth, or morel ravioli with subtly salty black olives. MEI is all about simplicity and depth.
