De Brave Hendrik was a fine dining restaurant in Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht, Netherlands. It was awarded one Michelin star in 1990 and retained that rating until 1996. History The restaurant was originally named In Den Braven Hendrik and located at Kerkstraat 7. This building was originally home to H.I. Ambacht's technical drawing school "Vakteekenschool".
