Home made Pastries inspired by Atelier Lucas, Knokke, Belgium

The Baking Creations of my devoted Pastry Team – directed by (lady) Pastry Chef Dende Erma – has always been a delightful art form. Turning simple ingredients into mouthwatering masterpieces, it’s a true artisanal skill and a craft that indulges our senses.  To master this art, it is crucial to continuously refine techniques. At our The Lombok Lodge Hospitality, we emphasize the importance of training and bringing our skills to new heights. I feel very honored and proud to have the opportunity to learn from the world’s best in the bakery industry, providing the best breakfast and brunch in Lombok.

Atelier Lucas | Luc Devriese | Knokke, Belgium

Luc Devriese, a member of ‘Createurs du Desserts’, completed internships with the best pastry chefs both nationally and internationally.

In 1988, Luc felt it was time to venture out on his own and started his own bakery – ‘ATELIER LUCAS KNOKKE’. Over the course of 23 years, this establishment grew into a highly renowned top-tier business.

Chef Luc is a maverick with an incredible passion and dedication to his craft of ‘bread and pastry.’ Luc works with ‘moment-fresh’ ingredients only. This approach forms the foundation for the quality of flavor and ensures that products from ATELIER-LUCAS always look their best. With customers eagerly forming long queues outside the shop each and every day.

As flagship products, Chef Luc developed the most perfectly layered Viennoiseries and a Range of Bread made from Stone-Ground Flour, resulting in fantastic bread with an unparalleled crispy crust, airy crumb, and exceptionally rich flavor.

Knokke Heist

Knokke-Heist, a vibrant coastal town in Belgium and home town of Ben & Anja, is renowned for its bustling beach bars, lively boulevards, captivating art galleries, and an abundance of chic and trendy clothing stores. Knokke-Heist offers a vibrant fusion of beachside relaxation, artistic inspiration, and high-end fashion, from innovative bakeries to charming restaurants.

HONOURED TO LEARN FROM THE BEST

My Culinary Team had the privilege of being trained by Chef Luc of ATELIER LUCAS in September 2025.
Luc DeVriese is undoubtedly one of the hottest names in the pastry world in Belgium.

We are extremely proud to serve our guests what is likely the best homemade croissants and pastries on the island. These treats are crafted by Pastry Chef Dende Erma, who uses only the finest natural ingredients and lots of love.

After weeks of fine-tuning, each creation by Chef Dende is both beautiful and delicious. The Lombok Lodge Breakfast quickly became the talk of the island. Our Made-That-Morning Croissants & Viennoiserie, cakes with Lombok Vanilla and zesty Lemon Surprises from our own Organic Gardens, and crispy-crust Sourdough Bread are all favorites.
