Friends since culinary school, Dutch chefs Han ten Winkel and Mark Tromop honed their skills in renowned restaurants around the world before finding the perfect setting for their shared dream on the Caribbean island of Bonaire.
Their vision became CHEFS: exquisite dishes prepared with the finest ingredients, served in an intimate setting where the roles of chef, maître d’ and waiter blend seamlessly, bringing the kitchen and its guests closer together.
As the story of CHEFS continues, Mark has moved on to focus on his business, Pastries Bonaire. Taking on the role of co-owner alongside Han is a familiar face: Jochem de Heer Kloots. Having been part of the CHEFS team for four years, Jochem is already well known to many of our guests. His new role is a natural next step, building on the passion and personal hospitality he has brought to CHEFS throughout those years.
Alongside Han and Jochem, chef Mats Pekelharing remains an integral part of the kitchen team. Together, they bring experience, creativity and a shared attention to detail to every course, continuing to refine the experience that makes CHEFS special.
With dishes prepared right before you, an evening at CHEFS offers a personal connection with the people behind your meal. Han, Jochem and Mats take the time to get to know your preferences, share their passion and make you feel truly welcome.
At CHEFS, you are always a valued guest. Because a memorable evening is about more than exquisite food—it is about the company, the conversation and the moments you share.
