Christophe Roesems’s career
Since his childhood, Christophe ROESEMS has had a passion for gastronomy. He earned his first stripes with his father Willy ROESEMS, former starred chef, who advised him to have a career in pastry. In 1986, he started his apprenticeship at the house of Wittamer, this prestigious establishment in which he acquired his diplomas. The following 4 years, he gained experience in several respected establishments (La Table d’Hôtes, Papadopoulos, Despina) before returning the house of Wittamer, headed by Myriam and her brother, Paul Wittamer until he left in 2024.
For almost 12 years, he was in charge of the pastry workshop on Place du Grand Sablon, creating the house’s sweets and fulfilling orders. It was a daily challenge met by its team of 25 collaborators of which he’s very proud. Since 1999, Wittamer is Official Supplier to the Court of Belgium, a recognition for which Christophe ROESEMS welcomes.
The sweet master
Curious and perfectionist, Christophe ROESEMS is always looking for the best, tastes, flavours, textures, mouth feel, which he defines both in pastries, biscuits and chocolates.
