Chef Christian Vogel leads the kitchen at Birdy's on a daily basis, while the concept itself was created by Chef Jeroen Achtien, renowned for his work at Sens (Switzerland) and Inter Scaldes (The Netherlands). Birdy's embraces the Think Vegetables! Think Fruit! philosophy in its purest form: every dish begins with vegetables, with meat or fish added only if the guest chooses. As a result, enjoying a fully Pure Plant experience is effortless and completely integrated into the concept. This is exactly the kind of forward-thinking approach that excites the We're Smart® Green Guide. It demonstrates that vegetables can naturally become the starting point of fine dining without compromising creativity or flavour. One question does remain: could this inspiring philosophy one day also find its way to Chef Jeroen Achtien's restaurant, Inter Scaldes? It would be a fascinating evolution to witness.
