Edwin Kats

At the helm of restaurant Noble and Noble Kitchen is Edwin Kats. At the age of 25, as the youngest chef ever, he won the title of SHV Master Chef, the highest title a chef can obtain. In 1995 he was awarded a Michelin star with restaurant De Swaen, and he was awarded 2 stars in 2002 with restaurant La Rive.

In 2008 he spread his wings and went abroad for the InterContinental Hotels Group. As executive manager he was responsible for the entire culinary operation of hotels in Lebanon and China. Inspired by his international experiences and driven by his passion for the profession, Edwin returned five years later to opt for culinary entrepreneurship. In 2013 he opened the doors of restaurant Noble in the former Chalet Royal in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, which was awarded a Michelin star in 2016. In 2018 it’s time for the next great step: Noble Kitchen opens its doors in Cromvoirt.
