A word from
Nick Bril
"Entertaining and pleasing people is in my nature. I want to share a little piece of myself with others."
Nick Bril - Chef
How would you describe your culinary philosophy?
Depending on the season and the product, I look for a unique flavour profile. It’s mainly a gut feeling trajectory. There are so many ways to get excited. It’s this sense of excitement that’s translated into a dish. Travel, world cuisine and different techniques really enhance this feeling, yet it’s always the main product that leads in the creation of a dish. It’s about the usage of beautiful veggies or a delicious piece of fish displayed in a unique and exciting way.
What is your idea of pleasure?
To me, it’s when all the different elements come together as a whole. To enjoy tasty dishes alongside a good glass of wine in an environment where you’re warmly welcomed. A place with a great atmosphere and ambience. If these elements make you, for a moment, forget all the woes of the world, that’s what I would define as a pleasure. Besides work life, I enjoy making memorable trips with my family. For me, travelling is a way to relax and to let go of the hectic life.
What is the most inspiring experience you had on your journey to becoming a chef?
The internships I've done in the past, like the fortnight in Napa Valley at Thomas Keller and two other internships I completed in Japan. Of course, getting rewarded with Michelin Stars is an unforgettable and fantastic experience for a chef.
What was the most memorable meal you either cooked or ate?
An omakase sushi menu prepared by one of Japan's great masters.
Who would you like to share your dream dinner with and why?
My wife.
What makes you a Krug Lover?
Above all, I think Krug has a unique character especially in a world of many differences. A product with a powerful story behind.
Can you describe your first sip of Krug?
My first experience with Krug was during a meeting of “Les Grandes Tables du Monde”. What I tasted was a classic and complex glass, rich and luxurious. A glass that makes you think
