Our Story
FROM Dinner Parties to Dining Experiences
Pomelo Dining began with two friends who met while living in Barcelona, a vibrant city that deepened their love for food. They shared a passion for hosting dinner parties and exploring the best ingredients and flavors.
Rosalie van der Weide is an experienced chef with a great ability to create extraordinary flavor combinations. She focuses on seasonal, nourishing ingredients and believes that food should be both healing and joyful. Her deep understanding of wine and champagne pairing adds another layer to the dining experience she creates.
Tjarda Glas trained at Ballymaloe Cookery School in Ireland, where she embraced a farm-to-table philosophy and developed her skills in sustainable sourcing, food styling, baking and fermentation. She further developed pastry skills at Deguelle Patisserie in Amsterdam. Tjarda brings not only technical precision but also playful creativity to menu creation and plating.
Together, Rosalie and Tjarda blend culinary skill, creativity, and passion to build Pomelo Dining into a business grounded in authenticity, seasonality, and exceptional taste.
