My name is Roy Engelen, chef and owner of Restaurant Royal, born and raised in the south of Holland, Roermond. I started cooking when I was 15 years old, and I am still very passionate about it. After I graduated from culinary school, I learned/worked for some great chefs in several 1 and 2 Michelin Star restaurants and other high-level restaurants in the Netherlands. I enjoy cooking for guests every day and serving them tasteful and beautiful plated dishes. I love to recreate classic dishes and present them with a more modern twist. Plating and flavors are the most important part of my cooking.
