Les Patrons Cuisiniers is a culinary association of quality restaurants in the Netherlands.
It came into existence due to the founders being unhappy with the direction of older culinary partnerships.
They also wanted more attention for the “White Brigade” (kitchen crew) instead of ownership.
Membership is open for head chefs with proven culinary quality.
[1] Chairperson of “Les Patron Cuiseniers” is former chef Cees Helder, who had been rewarded ‘’’three’’’ Michelin stars while cooking at restaurant Parkheuvel.
