"Omakase, bitte."

Tres is an intimate 12-seat sanctuary in the heart of Rotterdam’s Kop van Zuid-Entrepot. Here, dining becomes a whimsical journey, guided by the creative hands of chef Michael van der Kroft and the warm hospitality of his partner, Emy Koster. Tres is more than a restaurant; it’s the manifestation of a shared passion, born of years of dedication to the world of fine dining.

At Tres, Michael’s curiosity fuels a relentless pursuit of knowledge, where science and technique come together to create a culinary narrative that reflects the changing seasons of the Netherlands. Rather than drawing on the familiar tastes of childhood - a time marked by challenges and the pain of abandonment - Michael imagines flavours and combinations that are entirely his own. It’s a bold approach, forged from a past that could have held him back, but instead propels him forward, making each dish a testament to resilience and creativity.

As the Michelin Guide notes, entering Tres is like embarking on a thrilling adventure. Descending into Michael and Emy’s fascinating basement space, with its vintage-inspired décor, invites you into a world where the rough meets the refined. Here, at the expansive dining counter, you will witness the alchemy of an inventive, self-taught chef - a master of tangy fermentations, intricate garums and complex aging processes. Each season a new menu is unveiled, always full of unexpected delights, showcasing the best of local produce in ways that surprise and enchant.

Tres is not just a meal; it’s an exploration, a story told through food, where every bite offers a glimpse into the extraordinary mind of a chef who dares to dream beyond the ordinary.

Spinach transformed into a verdant canvas, paired with three intriguing variations of corn fudge, each a stroke of genius with paprika and miso. The pièce de résistance: rabbit leather and spinach, painted with two different pigments made from walnuts and pumpkin.

This is art on a plate, where food and imagination intertwine, making every bite a brushstroke in a tribute to the great master himself.

Chef Paolo Casagrande, of the Michelin Three-Starred Lasarte, composes dishes like small works of goldsmith’s art with flavors that unite Italy, where he was born, the Basque Country, where he developed his culinary mastery, and the Mediterranean, where he has settled and lives.

This is how he explains his culinary art: “I live and breathe the Mediterranean. I strongly believe that it is thanks to the Mediterranean that we have this level of creativity. Aside from the unprecedented variety of great produce, it is also a lifestyle. The sunshine, the nutrition, the character of the people here who are always open and cheerful”.

The calamari tartare with green apple juice and liquorice emulsion, with its pristine plating, balanced flavors and silky texture is an example of Paolo’s elegance and obsession with detail.

Not for nothing, Lasarte in Barcelona is a culinary symphony.
