Chefs Overview
Ralph Hermans
Classic craft with a modern edge
Chef Ralph Hermans leads the kitchen at La Source, bringing a composed style that blends classical elegance with modern creativity. His career took him through top Limburg kitchens such as Kasteel Wittem, Toine Hermsen and De Kristalijn, followed by his own Rantrée. In 2025 he joined La Butte aux Bois, first alongside his predecessor, then as the driving force behind La Source. He cooks with more calm and clarity today, leaving space for renewal while keeping the plate focused on flavour, harmony and detail.
“Every flavour tells a story; my job is to bring that story to life with precision and passion.”
