Born in the vibrant culinary city of Lima, Peru and raised in Aruba, Chef Juan Ludena, has embarked on a remarkable culinary journey that has taken him across continents and into the heart of the culinary world. His passion for food and dedication to his craft have shaped him into a culinary virtuoso with a unique blend of global influences. 

Seeking to expand his horizons and further hone his culinary skills, Chef Ludena set his sights on Europe, particularly the Netherlands.  He embarked on a journey that would lead him to the prestigious culinary school in the Netherlands, where he delved into the intricacies of European cooking techniques.

During his time in the Netherlands, Chef Ludena had the incredible opportunity to work under the mentorship of Chef Jermain de Rozario at 'de Lindehof.'
