Tim, chef.

Born and raised Watervliet native. With years of experience in renowned restaurants in Dutch Flanders. Stubborn person with a heart for special products and stories.

As a small Watervliet boy, Chief Tim peered curiously through the window of the stately rectory. He heard it all. The place was buzzing with stories. How cooking can be magic. He tasted out of his father Marnix’s cooking pots for the first time. He kept tasting.

Chef Tim sails his own distinctive course: recognizable and honest dishes with surprisingly aromatic nods.
