Led by chefs Gert De Mangeleer and Joachim Boudens, this three Michelin starred restaurant aims to take diners on a culinary journey from garden to kitchen through a seasonally changing menu. Tasting menus range from the Brief Encounter and Intensive Experience to the Extensive Discovery and Hertog Jan Integral, with a la carte options too, such as Royal Belgian caviar with turnip carpaccio, fresh cheese and cod roe, and pigeon from Steenvoorde that’s roasted with celeriac risotto and morrels.
