Eddie Meijboom

From Haarlem to Haute Cuisine

Haarlem-born Chef Eddie Meijboom leads the kitchen at Fris with creativity and precision. His philosophy is simple: fewer ingredients, more flavour. Drawing from his experience at Michelin-starred restaurants like Cheval Blanc and La Rive, Eddie crafts dishes rooted in French technique but elevated with Asian and Scandinavian influences. Every plate is a tribute to honest ingredients and bold taste.

“Every dish is about balance and purpose—there’s no place for decoration that doesn’t add to the flavour. I want each ingredient to stand out, to truly shine on the plate. My cooking is a reflection of my passion, and I hope our guests can feel that in every bite.”
