Drawing inspiration from the seaside of his youth, he has a deep-rooted passion for cooking particularly with seafood and vegetables. His expertise is further enriched by his French culinary training. “Now, in Molina, I have the privilege to share with you my avant-garde approach to European fine dining. Vegetables and seafood are the big stars of our menu; this is where my roots are established at the south shores of the Netherlands.” said Schutte.
