In 2024, The FACE Style Hotel in Kuala Lumpur opened Restaurant Molina on its 51st floor, in collaboration with Sidney Schutte.

During his ten years at De Librije, Sidney played an integral role in the creative process and the development of the restaurant's dishes. The success of De Librije led to an expansion of the brand in the form of a hotel and a second restaurant called Librije's Zusje, of which Sidney would later become Executive Chef.

In 2015, Sidney returned to the Netherlands with a wealth of knowledge and experience, hungry for a new challenge. Around seven months later, the Michelin guide awarded him ** stars at Librije's Zusje in the Waldorf Astoria in Amsterdam. In the years that followed, he expanded his culinary skills and developed his unique culinary style.

In 2017, Sidney was recognised by Gault & Millau as Chef of the Year and ranked number 65 on the “The Best Chef Award 2017” list. In addition, Sidney Schutte had the honour of serving his signature dishes for a month at restaurant Ikarus in HANGAR 7, Austria.

After a powerful five-year collaboration, Jonnie and Thérèse Boer of De Librije handed over the reins to Sidney Schutte and his team at the Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam, and the 2-Michelin-star restaurant was renamed Spectrum. On 22 January 2019, the restyled Spectrum** reopened under Sidney, who for the first time took full charge of his own kitchen. Together with his motivated and creative team, Sidney now demonstrates his signature gastronomic flair to enthusiastic diners at Spectrum, introducing them to an entirely new facet of fine dining.

Characterised by hard work, passion and dedication, Sidney Schutte's contemporary and forward-thinking cuisine has not gone unnoticed. In these years, Sidney's influence in the culinary industry attracted a great deal of attention, and he was honoured with the title "SVH Master Chef", the highest recognition a chef can achieve in the Netherlands. Known for his use of bold flavours and local, authentic products in both innovative vegetarian and impressive omnivore dishes, Sidney creates unique plates with exquisite aesthetic appeal, together with a superior display of textures and perfectly balanced tasting notes. Alongside his work as Executive Chef of SPECTRUM**, Sidney is also a 'Signature Chef' at Café Cliché and is involved in Culifex, a new experience centre where you can buy everything you need to cook indoors and outdoors.

In August 2020, Sidney and his partner Gigi van Es welcomed their twin boy and girl, named Beer and Lenthe-Sophie. The family of four now lives together with their dachshund Booz in Eemnes. In his free time, Sidney enjoys motorcycling, cooking with friends, and has a great passion for the art of tattooing.
