THE STORY BEHIND ATELIER
Two People. One Shared Passion.
Our story began long before Atelier Laterre.
Years spent in restaurants, hotels and hospitality have shaped not only the way we work, but also the life we've built together.
Today, in Northern Norway, we bring those years of experience into something of our own.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE EXPERIENCE
KIM LATERRE
The Passion Behind the Cuisine.
My journey in gastronomy began at sixteen, working in my family's restaurants in Belgium. It was there that I developed a deep appreciation for culinary craftsmanship, quality ingredients and the art of hospitality.
Over the years, my career has taken me through classical French cuisine, international hospitality, restaurant management and the creation of my own dining concepts.
A defining chapter was my work at Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp, a five-star superior hotel and member of The Leading Hotels of the World, home to Michelin-starred gastronomy.
Today, I bring this experience to Northern Norway, combining my French-Belgian culinary heritage with the exceptional ingredients of the Nordic region.
For me, great gastronomy is not simply about what is served, but about the moments it creates.
KATTY
The Heart Behind the Hospitality.
For Katty, hospitality has always been about people — making them feel welcome, comfortable and genuinely cared for.
Her professional journey began in international aviation, where she spent eleven years at Brussels Airport, including a leadership role that demanded exceptional service, discretion and attention to detail.
Her passion for hospitality later brought her into the world of gastronomy, where she played an active role in developing and bringing our own restaurant concepts to life.
She was also involved in the development of Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp, a five-star superior hotel where refined service and exceptional guest experiences are central to its identity.
Combining her experience in aviation, luxury hospitality and restaurant operations, Katty brings both professional expertise and a natural warmth to Atelier Laterre.
For Katty, true hospitality is the art of making every guest feel special, welcomed and completely at ease.
MORE THAN A PASSION. A WAY OF LIFE.
From Belgium to Northern Norway.
Our journey has always been about more than gastronomy. It's about family, the places we call home and the moments we share.
Atelier Laterre is a reflection of that journey — and we're delighted to share a little of it with you.
FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOUR TABLE.
