Suus Plesman, wife of KLM founder Albert Plesman, quietly shaped history through hospitality. In the 1930s, as tensions rose between Albert and his pilots, Suus had a simple idea: invite everyone to the table for a home-cooked meal and a glass of wine, with one rule: no one leaves until peace is made. That dinner led to a historic agreement that helped define KLM’s future, thanks to Suus’ warmth and belief in the power of food to unite.
Today, Restaurant Suus carries on her legacy, bringing people together through shared stories and exceptional meals.
