A delightful gathering at Restaurant M.: The Gentlemen's Lunch

Clinking glasses, firm handshakes, and conversations that effortlessly transitioned between business and life outside the workplace. On Friday afternoon, dozens of prominent gentlemen sat down at Restaurant M. for The Gentlemen's Lunch. Three top chefs, Dick Middelweerd, Bas van Kranen, and Martin Kruithof, served a menu as refined as the guests.

After a festive reception, everyone sat down for a lunch that far exceeded expectations. The culinary leadership was in the hands of three top chefs with a combined seven Michelin stars: Dick Middelweerd (De Treeswijkhoeve, Waalre), Bas van Kranen (Flore, De L'Europe Amsterdam) and Martin Kruithof (De Lindenhof, Giethoorn).

The accompanying wines, carefully selected by Vinites, completed the picture. As if that wasn't enough, the whole experience was accompanied by live music from the artists of Restaurant Pasta e Basta. And Wilfred Genee also took the microphone for a musical surprise...

Frank van Gool (founder and former CEO of OTTO Work Force): "The Gentlemen's Lunch at MASTERS EXPO was pure class: perfectly organized by Yves Gijrath, a luxurious setting, and sublime dishes from top Michelin-starred chefs."

Robert Eenhoorn (former general manager of AZ): "Besides the high quality of the food every year, I can't think of another place where so many special people from different branches of 'top sport' come together."
