Introducing Chef Melvin
I'm Melvin Leermakers, your potential chef for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or BBQ dinners. Since 2018, I've called the Caribbean home, settling on the picturesque island of Bonaire in 2019. My culinary journey began at a young age, inspired by my chef grandfather's expertise. Stepping into the industry at 16, I honed my skills but missed the direct interaction with guests. When the challenges of Covid-19 arose in 2020, I seized the opportunity to launch my own venture, emphasizing personal connections and sourcing from local ingredients. Now, as co-owner of Boutique Hotel Wanapa since 2023, I extend my culinary offerings to our guests there too. I eagerly anticipate the chance to meet you in person and embark on a delightful culinary journey together!
Introducing Chef Melissa
Hello, I'm Melissa Olthof-Eelman. With over a decade of experience in the hospitality industry since I was 16, my culinary journey has taken me from catering private dinners in the Netherlands to the stunning shores of Bonaire as of January 2024. Here, I'm excited to bring my passion for food to fellow enthusiasts. My heart lies with Mediterranean cuisine, and I specialize in crafting flavorful, cozy dinners, often in the indulgent Bourgondian style. Additionally, I'm available to delight you with breakfast or lunch offerings. Looking forward to meeting you soon!
“Melvin is absolutely amazing!!! I had him prepare 5 dinners over two weeks for my birthday celebration at an AirBnB. Every meal was sensational! He accommodated various dietary restrictions without blinking an eye in groups from 4 - 9. The meals were the best we had anywhere on Bonaire. Every dish was very creative, original and delicious. And Melvin is quite knowledgable about Bonaire as well. He can speak about the island, and scuba diving there (he's also a dive master), as well as describe how he prepared each aspect of every meal. Best private chef I've ever experienced. Do not miss reserving his services if you're thinking about a private chef on Bonaire.”
