TRADITION AND EVOLUTION
A symbiosis of culinary eras, each honoring the other.
As chef de cuisine of Restaurant Karel 5, I see cooking as a play between tradition and innovation, simplicity and refinement. Every day, we work on creating surprising dishes that leave you wanting more, using ingredients that lie at the heart of our craft. But it is the people behind these products who make the real difference: the fishers, hunters, butchers, farmers, growers, and cheese affineurs we have known for years and with whom we share a close bond. They inspire us and give soul to our dishes.Our kitchen respects the past but also looks toward the future. We do not cook to impress, but to move, with attention, joy, and love for the craft. In this former monastic refectory—a place of quiet and connection—you taste not only what we create, but also who we are.
Welcome to Restaurant Karel 5.
