Finalists for 2005


Emmanuel Stroobant
Saint Pierre
'Passionate' is a word that some have used to describe executive chef and owner of Saint Pierre, Emmanuel Stroobant. Branded for his creativity and relentless innovation when designing the restaurant's menu to reflect the four seasons, Stroobant constantly revamps the menu to evoke an elevated sensorial experience. Having trained under top chefs, from one to three Michelin-starred restaurants, such as Pierre Romeyer Maisin De Bouche, Barbizon and Cheme Madame, Stroobant's ability to create sumptuous delicacies surfaced more than four years ago when he founded Saint Pierre. For his undisputable commitment and service towards culinary brilliance, Stroobant has been awarded 'Best Apprentice Chef of Belgium' in 1987 and 1988, and has achieved the glamorous title of S.Pellegrino Chef of the Year at the WGS Awards of Excellence 2002.
