Inspired Business: Bas Strijbosch, Owner and Host Restaurant 1910

Dorine and Paul interview inspiring leaders in their podcast series "Inspired Matters," which can be found on Spotify.

When you talk about hospitality and delicious food in Eindhoven, you talk about Bas Strijbosch of 1910 Restaurant. Bas owns this stylish restaurant on the lively Wilhelminaplein. Every day it is fully booked. Guests who eat there get a culinary experience. Of course, this has not been done overnight. It continuously requires Bas' full attention. Whereas only one night out of 5000 used to be perfect, now there are three in a week. That means quite an evolution, of course. It is not only about how Bas interprets the word perfect, but also about the transformation of his leadership. You can guess which letter of the COCKTAIL method tastes best to him. Indeed, the "T" of Coming Home. Of course, desires always remain. Is he ready for a Michelin star? Bas shouldn't think about it! What is still on his wish list? Listen to this #BezieldeZaken and also discover why precisely his children are an important source of inspiration for him.
