Zilte

Zilte is a Dutch word often used to describe the taste of the sea or coastal air, a sense for Viki that evokes a simple pleasure in nature and its purity. These became the pillars of his philosophy for Zilte, which holds that the dining experience is about more than just food; it’s about creating emotions and memories that extend far beyond the time at the table. Every meal crafted at Zilte captures more than a fleeting moment and becomes a lasting memory.

Viki Geunes' culinary style isn’t defined by geographical boundaries: each bite is influenced first and foremost by seasonality and by his signature treatment of ingredients, which is based on a value system of honouring and elevating the flavours of the finest produce. 

Zilte is above all a family affair. Since day one, Viki and Viviane have worked side by side on their dream. Now, with their daughter Gitte as Restaurant Manager and their son-in-law Aaron as Head Sommelier, the restaurant is a result of the family’s shared vision. Guests feel the harmony of the four through a seamless yet approachable service that naturally resonates throughout the wider team.
