Les Patrons Cuisiniers

Les Patrons Cuisiniers is a culinary association of quality restaurants in the Netherlands.

The partnership was established on 14 October 1991. 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. Hence all members have Michelin stars awarded to them. ^[1]

Chairperson of “Les Patron Cuiseniers” is former chef Cees Helder, who had been rewarded ‘’’three’’’ Michelin stars while cooking at restaurant Parkheuvel.^[2]
