Month: October 2018

After sold-out editions with Jonnie Boer, Akira Oshima and Roger van Damme among others, Baoase Luxury Resort will be culinary stargazing once again with two chefs and one sommelier.

On November 29th, 30th and December 1^st 2018, Vive la Gastronomie celebrates exceptional dishes and wines with an exclusive interactive dinner by Dennis Kuipers (Vinkeles*), Onno Kokmeijer (Ciel Bleu**), sommelier Jop IJspeert (Ciel Bleu**), and Baoase Executive Chef René Klop. A celebration for guests of Baoase, as well as locals who follow their culinary hearts to the resort.

Klop: ‘When resumes overflowing with experience come to our lagoon, the result can only be gastronomic.’ What is on those resumes? Dennis Kuipers’ twelve years as an Executive Chef at The Dylan and restaurant Vinkeles. Onno Kokmeijer’s fifteen years as Chef of Ciel Bleu in the Okura Amsterdam. And Jop IJspeert’s four years as a Sommelier at that same Ciel Bleu.

In the Master Villa, these three chefs and sommelier prepare eight unique courses – including amuses, cocktails and drinks – right in front of a party of 25 guests.

Availability for Vive la Gastronomie is limited. The price per evening is $ 275 p.p. All three nights will have the same program.
