Inspired by chefs such as Jamie Oliver and Guy Vancauteren, Martijn began his culinary journey to become a top chef with the ultimate goal: a Michelin star. During this journey, he became increasingly exposed to the world of gastronomy, which fits exactly with the drive Martijn has always had. That journey eventually brought him a well-established list of awards, including "**Dessert of the Year**" by Gault&Millau and "**Rising Star**" by The Best Chef Awards. Five years after opening his restaurant, **Rebelle\***, Martin's ultimate goal became a reality. In 2022, he was awarded his first Michelin star.

Quality is central on all levels as is the use of honest, local, and sustainable products. **The cuisine is contemporary, youthful, and innovative, with an eye for detail & balance.** Creative dishes are served, with influences from Asian culture. The dishes are intertwined with the chef's identity, accessible and minimalist with a little sparkle and a pinch of spice. At **Rebelle\***, they believe in the ultimate gastronomic experience, moving far beyond food. The **drink pairing** play a very important role. The range of **quality wines** (both natural and classic) and non-alcoholic drinks, on the advice of the sommeliers, are perfectly matched with the creative dishes and **perfectly complement** the intense flavours of Rebelle's cuisine. ![REBELLE-15-0680262](https://lp.gastronomixs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/REBELLE-15-0680262.jpg?width=2000&height=1499&name=REBELLE-15-0680262.jpg "REBELLE-15-0680262") ![oxtail](https://lp.gastronomixs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/oxtail.jpg?width=2000&height=1500&name=oxtail.jpg "oxtail") "Thanks to Gastronomixs, we share more than just recipes.
