De Pastorie

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€€

Welcome to De Pastorie, 2.0, a 17C edifice whose period cachet has been savvily preserved in the wake of a top-to-toe makeover. The restaurant, dripping in high-class mod cons, is now the epitome of warm stylish urbanity. The landscaped manicured garden and leafy terrace are deservedly the pride and joy of this restaurant. Seasoned chef Carl Wens and his son Wout roll out a lineup that shines the spotlight on subtle Gallic classics, while treating them to a delicate youthful makeover. Sophisticated cooking that engages the senses best describes their ingredient-led score. Crunchy calf’s sweetb

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

Hof Ter Hulst

French, Classic French · ★ Michelin

€€€

Some establishments just know how to warm the cockles of one’s heart and Hof Ter Hulst is one such. The delightful Campine farmhouse has morphed into a characterful venue and as soon as you set foot inside the door, you understand that Johan Schroven doesn’t mess around with tradition, as his rich score demonstrates. The first bite of the langoustine, which is crafted with textbook precision, bears witness to the outstanding quality of the ingredients, further enhanced by a refreshing zest of lemon, without forgetting a creamy oxtail stew, truffles and a rich gravy that complete this exquisite

La Belle

Creative French · ★ Michelin

€€€

Peter Vangenechten has made the peaceful country village of Bel a landmark of Belgium’s fine dining landscape. The chef learned the trade in top establishments before returning to his roots and entirely reworking the former stables of a farmstead. Bare timbers support the tall roof, while the elegant interior paints a cosy picture. The idyllic scene is set for chef Vangenechten to work his magic on regional produce, adding international notes, creative side dishes and a playful mixture of textures that enhances and underscores the main ingredient. He savvily blends classic and international in

Julienne

Belgian, French

€€€

This upmarket establishment dripping in marble, which is bright and airy by day and cosy by night, extends a warm welcome typical of the Kempen region, before presenting an enticing menu and list of daily specials. Seasoned chef, Tim Moeskops, knows his classics and skilfully turns out dishes ranging from crispy, generously filled shrimp fritters and fresh, juicy sole to flavoursome eel in sorrel or a Poire belle Hélène, straight from his own pear orchard. Julienne celebrates heroic classics and does so with flair and know-how.

Christine Van Deun has settled down in this lovely Art deco villa. Trendy interior with vintage details, inviting bar and conservatory overlooking the terrace - garden. The chef pampers our taste buds with comforting traditional recipes. The extensive menu makes choosing a conundrum!

Alex Verhoeven has established his HQ on the top floor of the Turnova tower. The hip industrial-cum-Scandinavian interior and open-plan kitchen are fashionably uncluttered, with the bonus of a knockout view over the Campine. Ideal for an alfresco drink and lunch, it is just the ticket to sample the exuberant score of the chef and his team. Exceptional produce, respect for tradition and a scattering of unexpected touches depict the savvily devised, subtle menus. An example: gently sautéed sole fillets, encircled by a frothy bisque sauce and a classic beurre blanc, are flanked by pieces of smoke

Neon

Nils Proost brings his vision of sustainable fine dining to life in this refurbished canteen of a former teacher training college. He sources regional veggies and fruit, North Sea fish and occasionally meat (whole carcasses) in a tribute to the region’s forests, land and sea. Zero waste inspires his creativity (a superb kombucha, for example), adding an intriguing dimension to his repertory. Vibrant fermentations, powerful flavours, surprising seasonings and understated fruity sweets: the tastebuds are constantly thrilled and enthralled at Neon. You might start with slices of celery prepared w
