- Is it worth going out of your way for?
- Yes, if you value creative, technique-driven cooking in a calm, historic setting. The Michelin Plate recognition and live-fire focus make it a notable destination in East Flanders, especially at its accessible mid-range price.
- Who is it for?
- It’s for date nights, celebratory dinners, and anyone seeking a serious kitchen without the formality of a starred restaurant. It appeals to diners who appreciate regional context and ingredient-led dishes.
- What should you order?
- Look for signatures that showcase the live-fire technique: grilled scallops with raw celeriac and baked apple sauce, fregola with nduja and saffron, Presa Ibérico with aubergine, and grilled peach with praline ice cream.
- How do you get a table?
- Book via Zenchef. It’s a small, intimate space, so reservations are essential, particularly for weekend dinners.
- Anything to know before you go?
- It’s open for lunch Thursday and Friday, and dinner Wednesday through Saturday. The setting is compact and buzzy, with a refined, warm atmosphere centred around the open kitchen.
