About | Dick is a two-Michelin-starred chef, and restaurateur recognized by Gault&Millau as Craftsman of the Year 2026, a distinction that reflects his unwavering dedication to culinary craft. Together with his wife Anne-Laura, he has led their two-Michelin-star restaurant for over 35 years, earning their first star in 2005 and a second star in 2013.
His cuisine is grounded in classical technique, elevated by seasonal local ingredients and a refined sense of innovation. The result is a deeply sensory and memorable dining experience.
While he draws inspiration from global culinary traditions, his work remains firmly rooted in regional identity and Dutch terroir. Beyond the kitchen, he is committed to mentoring the next generation of chefs and sharing his knowledge within the wider hospitality community.
Travel, culture, and the continuous evolution of taste play an essential role in shaping his perspective. At the core of everything he does is a focus on authenticity, excellence, and the creation of moments that linger long after the experience itself.
