Restaurant De Trechter is a defunct restaurant in Amsterdam, in the Netherlands. It was a fine dining restaurant that was awarded one Michelin star in 1985 and retained that rating until 1995.[3][4][5][6][7]

Owner and head chef of De Trechter was Jan de Wit.[8][9] De Wit closed down De Trechter and moved on to restaurant De Nederlanden, after a conflict about bins and binbags with the municipality of Amsterdam.[10][11]

About the conflict he said:

"In Frankrijk legt de overheid een weg aan naar een sterrenzaak, bij mij zetten ze de vuilniszakken voor de deur."
English: "In France, the government built a road to a star restaurant, to me they put the garbage outside the door."[12]

After closure of De Trechter the building was taken over by restaurant En Route, that was replaced in 2008 by Magnolia.[13]
