Wild Atelier

In the middle of the Veluwe, at De Echoput in Hoog Soeren, you will find the Wild Atelier. Here, master chef Jonathan Zandbergen introduces you to a special form of gastronomy, in which nature and the seasons take centre stage.

Game forms the basis of the dishes, supplemented with pure ingredients from local fisheries and regenerative agriculture. And that has not gone unnoticed! The restaurant opened in June 2025 and received its first Michelin star in October 2026. Previously, Wild Atelier was already awarded 16.5 points by Gault&Millau and the title ‘Remarkable Newcomer of the Year’. A special place for those who want to enjoy a top-level culinary experience!

The new generation of game gastronomy

At Wild Atelier, the game tradition of De Echoput is given a contemporary form. Here, game does not just stand for deer, roe deer or wild boar, but for everything that lives and grows in freedom: from the forest, from the land and from the water. Chef Jonathan Zandbergen translates that richness into a refined cuisine in which origin, season and landscape always form the starting point.

The result is modern game gastronomy: lighter, more precise and deeply connected to the Dutch nature. With attention to local game management, sustainable fishing, plant-based flavourings and products from regenerative agriculture, a culinary experience is created that is pure, elegant and surprisingly contemporary.
