Jerome

French, Belgian

€€

With its black and white chequered floor tiles and bench seats lining the walls, Jerome is reminiscent of a snug Parisian bistro. Alexe, your hostess, supervises the front of house with seamless, classy elegance. Meticulous attention to detail prevails throughout the establishment, including in chef Van der Stappen’s authentic yet subtle Franco-Belgian repertory. The chef is particularly attentive to the plating. A standout: veal blanquette simmered in a creamy succulent sauce with meatballs, slightly tangy button mushrooms, flat-leaf parsley and house-made potato fritters. Gutsy, wholesome fl

Maison Colette

French, Modern Cuisine · ★★ Michelin

€€€€

A wind of enthusiasm heralds Thijs Vervloet’s return to Tongerlo. This former doctor’s home has been entirely refurbished with alfresco dining in the garden and five deluxe guestrooms. Luxury is the bedrock of the high-end establishment from its Gallic poise and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the interior in light to the cosily intimate drapes and made-to-measure porcelain tableware by Pieter Stockmans! A champion of the ingredient, Vervloet’s culinary signature seeks to place his classical background and training at the service of a demanding score underpinned by sensitivity and know-how

De Lindehoeve

Modern French

€€€

Pallieter Vaes has breathed a new lease of life into this country hostelry, whose classical period details and fixtures have been retained, adding to the cachet and character of this airy establishment. The chef, who boasts an enviable CV, is manifestly a fan of top-notch produce. When he works with scallops, he may give them a crispy crust, which is then offset by side dishes like squash, ginger, a sea vegetable and a lovage-perfumed beurre blanc. You can expect a culinary lineup packed in gutsy flavours and delicacy. The à la carte is more traditional than the set menu, but both hit the spot

L'oh

Seasonal Cuisine, Creative French

L’oh has pulled off the feat of combining a classy stylish interior with a feel-good, homely vibe. One glance at the kitchen, behind a glazed partition, reveals the enthusiasm, spot-on precision and dedication of the kitchen brigade. Chef Simon’s hallmark revolves around outstanding produce and local delicacies, including from his own garden, together with a passion for spices. An example of his consummate craftsmanship are the scallops from Dieppe, which are glazed and served with various textures of pumpkin and a creamy Vadouvan sauce. This talented chef is confident enough to simply allow t

L'air des Sens

Farm to table, Creative

€€€

Snug, pared-back and arty – the interior of this historic 1900 edifice is equally as fascinating as David Schulz’ fine cuisine. Veggies, herbs and seasonings form the backbone of his cooking. Almost everything is prepared from scratch and many of the recipes star local meat or North Sea seafood. He works hand in hand with the seasons, adding a creative spin, unexpected twists and exciting new techniques. A keen interest in Dutch wines adds the final flourish to this enticing portrait.

De Cuylhoeve

Modern French

€€€

De Cuylhoeve enjoys a truly magical setting in the heart of the Campine Forest, providing the perfect stage for this romantic restaurant. Start with a glass of bubbly from the impressive list of champagnes, before sampling chef Bart Janssens’ masterful know-how. He finds his inspiration in pedigree French recipes, to which he adds his own more modern spin, sharing his passion for first-class produce along the way.

De Gouden Muts

French Contemporary

€€€€

This elegant villa is so cosy and inviting, and with the warm welcome extended by Evi, your charming maître d', you are sure to feel right at home. In the open kitchen, chef Rudy puts his own spin on French and Belgian recipes, adding in the requisite zing and occasional Japanese nuances. For instance, he uses miso to enhance flavours, but he also stays true to tradition with dishes such as pigeon cooked on the bone and served with beetroot and foie gras. He takes a detailed approach to his cooking, and his rich sauces are a key part of his dishes.

Brasserie Rongese

Traditional Cuisine, Farm to table

€€€

This characterful eatery is established in a former cafe in Runskt, a district that was once called Rongese. The owner, Peter Merken, is always on hand with excellent wine and beer tips to pair with the wonderful array of wholesome fare chalked up on the slate. Juicy rare entrecote steak with piping hot fries and al dente veggies followed by a Belle Hélène pear with vanilla ice cream and smothered in hot chocolate sauce: you can’t get more traditional than this brasserie score.
