At the age of 19, Jo Grootaers knew exactly what he wanted to become: a top chef. So the talented cook took matters into his own hands. Instead of waiting for an elite chef to take him under his wings and teach him the finesse of gastronomy, he developed a creative yet technical cooking style that has beautifully matured over the years. Following his intuition, chef Jo Grootaers makes extremely tasty out-of-the-box dishes with clear flavours. His cooking style is characterized by his personality and boyish bravado. Jo serves much more than stunning culinary creations: he knows how to move people. As a result, his gastronomy is an experience you won’t easily forget.
