About Piment
At Piment we believe good food starts at the source: local produce, organic as much as possible and fresh from the garden. That's how we show just how rich vegetarian food can be.
Local produce, fresh from the garden
For our dishes we work as much as possible with organic produce from self-harvest garden CSA Bodemvrucht. The short distance from garden to plate determines the quality of every dish. We believe that mindful eating - sustainable, seasonal and fresh from the garden - benefits both our health and our future.
About Jimy Silva de Almeida
Chef-owner Jimy has French and Portuguese roots and lives with his family in Hilversum. His passion for cooking started young, in his family’s vegetable gardens.
Earlier in his career Jimy worked at places including Studio K, De Klub Utrecht and De Veldkeuken in Bunnik, where the team won the award for Best Vegetarian Burger in 2017.
"I want to inspire people to eat vegetarian more often, without pushing anyone. Piment has become a social place, a safe haven. We want to inspire with beauty and taste."
The Piment philosophy
Fresh from the garden, love from the neighborhood - a combination of Portuguese inspiration, travel experiences, and local, seasonal ingredients.
We work closely with CSA Bodemvrucht and Zorgtuin Zonnestraal, including social inclusion programs. Piment is also an ambassador of the Biodiversity on your plate program.
Honest food for a fair price, in a place that feels open to everyone.
