Together with his wife Thérèse Boer he was at the helm of De Librije, the iconic restaurant that was awarded three Michelin stars continuously for no less than 23 years. An exceptional achievement that underlines his craftsmanship and dedication. Jonnie Boer was not only a master in the kitchen, but also a mentor and inspiration for a new generation of chefs.
