Restaurant Fine Fleur
Jacob Jan Boerma & Thomas Diepersloot
Surrender to temptation and yield to the sensory stimulation of a restaurant where striving for perfection is second nature. Pure indulgence is yours, from the historically respectful interior by Dennis T’Jampers to the stargazing cuisine of one of the world’s most exciting pairings of chefs: Jacob Jan Boerma & Thomas Diepersloot. Glimpses of the kitchen offer a taste of things to come: craftsmanship, creativity and attention to detail in a special, historic location.
An Ode to Finesse
Expect elegance and extraordinary taste sensations in an intimate fine-dining setting. At Fine Fleur, you embark on a journey of flavours and experiences. The best-quality ingredients are combined to elicit surprise and delight, marrying classic techniques with fresh elements, acidity and herbs and spices from around the world. The restaurant’s cuisine looks towards the future and evolves while at all times ensuring that you enjoy a beautifully balanced palette of aromas and flavours. Innovation, ingenuity and improvement are the bywords.
Two Stargazing Chefs
As a child on holiday with his parents, Jacob Jan Boerma would read the Michelin Guide in the back of the car, daydreaming of one day becoming a Michelin-starred chef himself. His hard work and dedication paid off, and he opened De Leest in Vaassen in 2002, which is where he earned a total of three Michelin stars.
The rest is history!
The Most Exciting Pairing
Thomas Diepersloot was also bitten by the cooking bug at a young age, and was living in Asia by the time he was 17 where he gained valuable experience in top restaurants. Although trained as a classic French chef, his travels led him to discover new styles and possibilities. Back in the Netherlands, he worked for Jacob at the De Leest, then at Restaurant Voltaire, which is where he earned a Michelin star.
Needless to say, when Jacob Jan Boerma met Thomas Diepersloot, they clicked straight away – Fine Fleur is the culmination of their successful careers.
