On Monday, October 2, the team behind The Dutch at 5340 E. Broadway Blvd. announced that the restaurant has permanently closed.
There wasn’t a specific reason for the closure other than there being some “unforeseen circumstances.” We weren’t able to reach anyone for comments about the sudden closure but the following information was shared on Instagram:
“Due to unforeseen circumstances, The Dutch is closed. It has been our pleasure to serve the greatest customers in town and work with our incredible team. Thank you to everyone who has dined with us and supported us over the years. We hope to be able to serve you again in the future.”
A little more than a year ago, Marcus and Nicole van Winden relocated the restaurant to Broadway Boulevard after spending a few years on Main Gate Square. Our fingers are crossed that we haven’t seen the last of the van Winden’s cuisine.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
