Have you ever wondered who’s behind those mouth-watering dishes at our Yalo Restaurant? People come from far and wide just to savour what our team of culinary artists can do. Ladies and gentlemen, let’s give a round of applause for our exceptional kitchen squad, led by the talented Chef Jasper Maatman.
Jasper’s culinary journey began in top Michelin-starred kitchens across the Netherlands before bringing his expertise to Belgium in 2013. After eight years at Ghent’s prestigious Pillows Hotel—where he became Head Chef of the LOF restaurant—Jasper joined our vibrant and dynamic Yalo kitchen team. Together, this crew blends creativity, precision and dedication into every dish, ensuring each plate is a work of art.
The secret to Yalo’s success? Teamwork, innovation and a shared love for ‘Belgian classics with a twist’. Under Jasper’s leadership, the team crafts a diverse à la carte menu inspired by global flavours, with a special emphasis on umami and citrus. Every single dish truly showcases their passion and expertise.
