Corona trick? Star restaurant registers diners as ‘hotel guests’ | Inland

The star restaurant Joelia on the Coolsingel continues to receive people because they can enter via the adjacent Hilton Hotel. They are then registered as a hotel guest for an extra 10 euros.

“We tell people, do not push the boundaries, just as Prime Minister Mark Rutte has said. We are therefore going to look at this construction, ”said a spokesperson for the Safety Region.

Chef Mario Ridder doesn’t think he’s doing anything wrong. “This is within the rules. If you are a hotel guest, you are allowed to use the facilities of the hotel. So also of the restaurant that has an entrance through the lobby. Inside, we naturally adhere to all measures such as keeping our distance, a maximum of thirty people and no alcohol after eight in the evening, ”he told the AD.

Due to the tightening of the corona rules, the catering industry had to close its doors for four weeks on Wednesday evening at 10 p.m.
