Bernard Proot

Chef Bernard Proot is a top pastry chef who worked at Wittamer, Lenôtre and DelRey in order to gain experience in the world of (high-end) pastry. After doing so, he took up the position of pastry chef at DelRey in 1983 and eventually took over the business, which he turned into a well-renowned pastry shop.

DelRey, originally situated exclusively in Antwerp (Belgium), now comprises an additional four shops, three of which are located in Japan.
