Syrco Bakker: A Michelin-Starred Visionary in Fine Dining

Chef Syrco Bakker is a celebrated Michelin-starred chef, known for his innovative approach to fine dining. With experience in some of the best restaurants in the world, Bakker has mastered the art of high-end gastronomy, earning widespread recognition for his commitment to excellence.

A Journey Through the World of Michelin Stars

Bakker’s culinary career began under some of the most legendary names in Michelin-starred fine dining. He trained under:

  • Jonnie Boer (De Librije, 3 Michelin stars)
  • Jean-Georges Klein (L’Arnsbourg, 3 Michelin stars)
  • Sergio Herman (Oud Sluis, 3 Michelin stars)

Notably, Sergio Herman was the first and only chef to ever receive a perfect 20/20 rating from the Gault Millau guide, an achievement that remains unmatched.

Early in his career, Bakker also trained under Gordon Ramsay, gaining first-hand experience in the discipline and precision of Michelin-starred kitchens.

In 2010, he took over Pure C (part of the Sergio Herman Group), where his innovative cuisine earned the restaurant a Michelin star. His commitment to excellence was further recognized in 2018, when he earned a second Michelin star, solidifying his reputation as one of the top chefs in the world.
