In honour of the five-year anniversary of restaurant Taiko in Amsterdam, Executive Chef Schilo van Coevorden takes you on the journey he has taken to become the chef he is right now, celebrating the sources of his inspiration.
In 2019 and 2020 five exclusive four-hands dining experiences in collaboration with international chefs selected by Schilo will celebrate this special milestone. The collaborating chefs have influenced Schilo at some point in his career, up to future developments with Taiko in 2020. Expect beautifully composed dinners with modern Japanese influences to traditional French cuisine in combination with Schilo’s signature dishes.
On Sunday 3 and Monday 4 November he kicks off with Albert Adrià, known for the world-famous restaurant El Bulli and owner of the gastronomic amusement park: El Barri (Pakta, Enigma, Hoja Santa, Tickets, Bodega 1900). During this evening, Adrià and van Coevorden pay tribute to the Nikkei cuisine, the best of Japanese and Mediterranean gastronomy. In February 2020, it is the turn of self-taught chef Hisato Hamada, mastermind behind the $180 sandwich “wagyu katsu sando” and co-owner of the Japanese restaurant concept Waygumafia. In March 2020, van Coevorden cooks with three-star chef Gérald Passedat, owner of Le Petit Nice and according to van Coevorden, the world’s best fish chef. In April 2020, top chef Bobby Geetha will visit to Taiko. Geetha is currently responsible as corporate executive chef for Asha’s for 18 restaurants in England and the Middle East. The fifth chef to end this year full of celebrations with, is still a surprise and will be announced later this year. Reservations can be made via this link.
