Born and raised in Antwerpen, the Flemish part of Belgium and surrounded by Michelin starred ranked restaurants, his passion for cooking developed at a very young age, shaping his professional destiny: to become a Chef.
“Cooking is all I ever wanted to do as food played an important role in my family,” Chef said. “Food has taken me in so many places around the world, opened my senses and taught me more than I could imagine. I am excited to carry the hotel’s legacy started by its visionary owner Patrick Nouvel, working with an experienced culinary team, mixologist, sommelier and executive team to shape new horizons for years to come at Passa.”

“At Passa Restaurant, with my knowledge and experience, I am trying to present dishes with exceptional quality working closely with local farmers and suppliers to seek out the finest local products. My style is simply innovative and classical, using French cuisine adding Thai local ingredients to create Fusion in the dishes.”
His passion and expertise encompasses all aspects of a dining experience that has charmed guests of Passa Koh Samui. Since he joined the resort, he is mentoring his team growing their skills and talents, embracing their creative nature; ultimately shaping his vision for the future of the culinary team.
“Bart is a leader and an exceptional chef, just the right ingredients to build upon the wonderful foundation forged since the opening of the resort over 2 years ago,” said Roger Godin, Managing Director of Asian Resorts Collection. “I have no doubt that our guests will marvel at his creativity, a trademark we search for in our culinary leadership on the island of Koh Samui, and inspire his team to create exceptional dining experiences.”
When Chef Bart is away from composing on Passa’s piano or finding the right ingredients on the local markets, he finds himself well balanced by reconnecting with the nature, swimming in hidden spots of Koh Samui but also getting energised by jetskyiing
