Le Pristine is his latest venture, which combines his Zeeland roots with his passion for Italian cuisine. The result is a fusion of pure, fresh, and authentic flavors that reflect both the sea and the land.

The restaurant occupies a spacious and elegant building, with a stylish interior design that mixes modern and classic elements. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, with a touch of glamour and sophistication.

The menu at Le Pristine changes seasonally, and offers a variety of dishes that showcase the best of local and Italian ingredients. Guests can choose from a la carte options, or opt for a tasting menu that features the chef’s signature creations. Some of the highlights include the burrata with caviar and basil, the lobster with artichoke and lemon, and the veal with truffle and Parmesan. The dishes are complemented by a carefully curated wine list, as well as a selection of cocktails and mocktails.

Le Pristine is not only a restaurant but also a café, that is located on the opposite side of the restaurant, and is a casual and lively spot that serves coffee, pastries, sandwiches, salads, and pizzas.

Le Pristine is a must-visit destination for food lovers who appreciate quality, creativity, and diversity. The restaurant has received rave reviews from critics and customers alike, and has been awarded one Michelin star in 2023.
