Jan Van Haute | Belgian Executive Chef
Embassy of Belgium | Washington DC
I come from a family of five children and have four sisters. I’m 31 years old. My passions are cooking, eating good food and traveling. I studied for five years at ‘Spermalie’ Culinary School in Bruges, Belgium. For the past ten years, I worked for the Royal Family of Belgium and in some high-end Belgian restaurants, including the Michelin 3-star restaurant “Hof van Cleve” in Kruishoutem. I have done traineeships at the Michelin 2-star Ryu Gin restaurant in Tokyo, Japan, and at Vue de Monde in Melbourne, Australia. For the past 2,5 years I have been the Chef of the Belgian Ambassador to the United States. I would love to open my own restaurant in the future.
