Meet the Chef

Renaud Goigoux grew up in Clermont-Ferrand, France. From a young age, he started cooking and developed a deep passion for the world of hotels and restaurants. After gaining international experience in countries including Australia, the Philippines and Switzerland, he settled in Amsterdam in 2014.

He worked in the kitchens of restaurant Daalder and then became sous-chef under Guillaume de Beer and Freek van Noordwijk at restaurant Breda. In 2017, Joris Bijdendijk gave him the opportunity to become sous-chef at the Michelin-starred Rijks*, where he discovered the Dutch terroir and the refined gastronomy that are now an inseparable part of his identity. 

In June 2023, the Van der Meer family entrusted him with Senses, where he is now developing his own unique signature style.

 

 

The vision of Senses

The chef’s kitchen is ever-evolving, driven by seasonality, color and a deep curiosity for ingredients. At its core are refined techniques, classic French sauces, precise cooking and a careful balance of flavors: all complemented by Japanese influences and a predominantly plant-based approach.

We offer a tasting menu featuring fish and seafood from the North Sea, as well as a fully plant-based tasting menu. Additionally, we also offer an à la carte menu.

The best seasonal and sustainable products

Our team strives to reduce our ecological footprint by choosing bicycle deliveries, minimizing food waste and plastic use, recycling, working with sustainable products and focusing on more plant-based options.
