The leaders of the Dutch hospitality industry will gather at Theater Amsterdam on November 30, 2026, for the 19th annual Entree Awards ceremony. This event, often referred to as the \u201cOscars of the Hospitality Industry,\u201d is the premier venue for celebrating the craftsmanship of new establishments and passionate professionals. Ruben Nicolai will serve as master of ceremonies this year and guide the audience through the program. With a 55-meter-wide projection screen as a backdrop, fifteen awards will be presented to the very best in their fields, ranging from Best Bartender and Best Barista to Hospitality Entrepreneur of the Year.<\/h2>\n

Selecting these winners is no easy task. An independent panel of 22 experts\u2014comprising experienced hospitality entrepreneurs, skilled chefs, and astute trend watchers\u2014determines who takes home an award. This comprehensive judging process ensures that the recognition the winners receive is rooted in craftsmanship. After the awards ceremony, all nominees receive a digital jury report filled with insights that are truly useful to them in practice. The organization behind it all is Entree Magazine, a media brand that provides hospitality professionals with news and inspiration year-round through its platform and print publications.<\/p>\n

This year, the winners will once again be honored, just as they should be in an industry that\u2019s always on the move.
