History
editThe restaurant finds it origin in a trout farm, built by the Nederlandsche Heidemaatschappij around 1898. Later, the farm was opened for visitors. The visitors could enjoy fresh trout in the restaurant beside the fish pool.[5] In January 1967, the restaurant is first mentioned as being named Truite d'Or.[6] In the beginning the restaurant was solely focused on trout, but after the take over by Martin Snellen, the card was widened.[7] In 1976, the restaurant was renovated into a more French style.[8] In 1977, head chef Theo Kurvers left and owner Martin Snellen decided to appoint Maître d'hôtel (and replacement chef) Karel Swart as the new head chef.[9] In 1982, Snellen sold the restaurant but the new owners could not save the restaurant and it closed in 1985.[10][11]
