Meet Michelin-starred head chef Ralf Berendsen

Dutchman Ralf Berendsen is the driving force behind Restaurant La Source. He arrived in 2011 and was awarded his first Michelin star just two years later: a reward for being a perfectionist, as he likes to call himself. ‘Nothing is so good that it cannot be improved. That must be the starting point,’ is the premise of Berendsen’s work, allowing him to constantly evolve. Ralf Berendsen reached another milestone in his career in 2017 after receiving a second Michelin star – a well-deserved accolade for his exquisite cuisine. He sets the bar high, turning his expertise and creativity into dishes that bring guests the ultimate pleasure. According to culinary journalists Sven Van Coillie and Frank Cops, ‘On the plate, Michelin-starred chef Ralf Berendsen serves gastronomic works of art that can take their place among the very best in Belgium.’
