Vossius was a luxurious restaurant that aimed for three Michelin stars. The owners used the best materials available, including a custom built Molteni stove and ceilings decorated with gold leaf. The project ended in bankruptcy after two years.[5][6][7][8] The economic malaise gave the final blow to the restaurant.[9]
