About Bart van der Lee
Bart's passion for fine cuisine is influenced by the culinary giants he worked for during his training. He started his first Michelin star job at age 19 and hasn't looked back. Working his way up through the ranks in some of the world's best restaurants such as Noma, The Waterside Inn Beluga, Toine Hermsen and Henk Savelberg.
Today Bart is driven by his incredible journey and makes food that never fails to surprise. He remains inspired by memories from his childhood, such as picking blueberries in the forest and fishing in the local rivers.
