History
editThe restaurant was originally named In Den Braven Hendrik and located at Kerkstraat 7.[6][7] This building was originally home to H.I. Ambacht's technical drawing school "Vakteekenschool".[8] Later the restaurant renamed to De Brave Hendrik and housed at Kerkstraat 30.[9]
Henk van Ark and head chef Jan Klein owned the restaurant from 1982 until 1994, when Klein left to start restaurant Hermitage in Rijsoord.[10][11][12] In 1996, the restaurant became the second restaurant in the Netherlands to voluntarily give up its Michelin star. Restaurant 't Misverstant did this in 1994.[13][14]
The restaurant closed down around 1997. A restaurant Sandelingen occupied the structure on Kerkstraat 30[15] before the structure returned to residential purposes. Kerkstraat 7 continues to house restaurants through 2023.
