The Chef

Food worth biting back at.

For Felix, the kitchen has never been just a profession — it's where reality becomes art. The obsession started in childhood, the first time he understood that food brings people together and leaves memories that outlast the plate.

He sharpened both technique and resilience at sea, rising to sous chef aboard the Artania — leading teams across international cuisines, working with global methods and rare ingredients to a standard where excellence is the only option. On land he'd already climbed every rung: chef de partie, sous chef, and head chef running a brigade of seven through London's dining rooms, with a season at Maloka Lounge in Bucharest along the way.

Today his inspiration lives in Amsterdam — a city he chose for its energy, openness and eye for beauty. The mission is simple: bring that international rigour and obsessive attention to detail to a refined Dutch table, blending global technique with local influence so every meal becomes its own gastronomic experience. All of it plated under a name with teeth — BITE ME.
