how to make reservations
very much our regret we have to inform you that due to personal circumstances it is no longer possible to make reservations for eating experieces at studio de culinaire werkplaats.
dear all,
in august 2018 -during our summer break- I was working with my partner Eric on various ideas and events to celebrate the 10th anniversary of our design studio de culinaire werkplaats. A milestone we are very proud of.
I was in particular very much looking forward to celebrating this milestone and sharing with you all the next steps we wanted to make.
however, during this period I was diagnosed with an incurable disease.
consequently, Eric and I had to make some very difficult decisions. one of them is to close the restaurant and catering activities of our design studio.
as in the coming period we would like to have more time for our personal lives and above all we want to document a decade of de culinaire werkplaats.
please check our website to see what the future will bring.
for now, I would like to thank you all for 10 years of incredibly interesting encounters, travels, experiences, etcetera.
and … last but not least: we are touched by all the warm, loving, and personal messages, visits, and presents we are receiving during this period.
my warmest regards,
marjolein wintjes, also on behalf of eric meursing
food conceptualists and initiators of studio de culinaire werkplaats.
