Le Début Amsterdam
Supervised by a professional chef-instructor and a maître d’hôtel, our students prepare our dishes with fresh ingredients and serve them with care and attention. Sustainability is embedded in our institution’s DNA, and this is reflected in our changing menus, which feature a surprising choice of food and beverages. We want to create a meaningful and real experience for our students. That’s why we give them the best possible preparation for their future careers by closely following the latest trends in the industry.
Since February 2025, we bring SENSE to our food for the health of our community and for the benefit of the planet. SENSE is about preparing and consuming SEASONAL, ETHICAL, NUTRITIOUS food that is SUPPORTIVE to our communities while creating eating experiences that bring ENJOYMENT to our diners.
