Sidney Schutte – Recipient of Two Michelin Stars

Chef Sidney Schutte

His Dutch heritage and passion for travel have combined to provide him with a unique perspective as head of Cocina de Autor restaurant. Four years in Asia shaped his palate and inspired him to present different taste sensations within a single dish. Ingredients themselves are the source of inspiration.

Sidney Schutte gained extensive experience in prestigious kitchens throughout Europe and Asia, including those run by Dutch top chef Richard Ekkebus at Amber, a two Michelin star restaurant in Hong Kong; Roger Souvereyns, of the two Michelin-starred De Scholteshof in Belgium; and Jonnie Boer, acclaimed chef and owner of restaurant De Librije in Zwolle. With Schutte’s support, De Librije earned its third coveted Michelin star. Just seven months after opening, Librije’s Zusje Amsterdam was awarded two Michelin Stars under Schutte’s command. .

The first edition had chefs in attendance with a total of 24 Michelin Stars and the second edition had a total of 36 Michelin Stars, including those earned by Sidney Schutte.
