Where castle walls meet culinary fire

GEM. is housed in the 14th-century gatehouse of Gemert Castle. Ivy-covered walls and a quiet moat outside, refined intimacy for 40 to 50 guests inside. Chef Soenil Bahadoer draws inspiration from the estate’s garden just steps away, harvesting rare herbs and seasonal vegetables at their peak. With each course, he brings together bold heritage and subtle luxury. Everything from the pacing to the smallest garnish reflects a love for craft and sincere hospitality.
