Fred's philosophy

Good food was not instilled in me at home. Only during my education did I learn what enjoyment is and discovered how much I love being in the kitchen. How I love to experiment. To discover new, exciting combinations. Most of it I learned while doing it.

My cooking style is based on classic French cuisine,
but I put my own spin on dishes. Recognizability is the absolute number one.
Leaving the product as it is, that’s what I love.

I get the most satisfaction from working with seafood and
all prime vegetables. I don’t follow trends. I am guided by the seasons, by the most beautiful freshest products. My kitchen is also based on acids. Citrus fruit in particular makes dishes easy to digest.’

We offer quality. I am not a commercial cook: I buy far too expensive ingredients. I have no choice: I am always looking for even better products. I want our guests to actually taste those stars.
