Idylle was a restaurant located in Zweeloo, Netherlands. It was a fine dining restaurant that was awarded one Michelin star in the period 1997-2007.
Owner and head chef of Idylle was Joop Zwiep.
The restaurant regularly organized culinary test-events under the name "Proef op de Tong" (Eng.: "Test on the Tongue") in which chef Zwiep often mocked with standard culinary practices. In 2001, he changed the flow of courses and started with a dessert. In 1997, he confused his guests by serving a blue asparagus soup.
The restaurant lost its star in 2008, due to Zwiep changing course from a fine dining restaurant to a cooking workshop in 2007.
Idylle is a former member of the Alliance Gastronomique Néerlandaise.
The restaurant is housed in a Dutch national monument, a Saxon farmhouse, built in the 19th century. Earlier it housed Michelin starred restaurant De Bokkenpruik.
