The Experience
From Michelin Guide
Tucked away in the heart of the countryside, chef Florent Ladeyn, an ecological champion from the word go, is a standard-bearer of authentic Flemish fare steeped in gourmet flavours, albeit with a creative, instinctive spin. In a dining room, refurbished from top to toe with exposed rafters and overlooking the West Flanders hillsides, the chef unveils his passion for ember roasting, which he carries out in front of diners. Firmly committed to local produce, he strews his creations with flowers and plants from the region. And while his Maroilles fries covered with a thin layer of caramelised onion has attained almost legendary status, we highly recommend his “blind” menu, which has to be for everyone at the table, rich in gourmet delights!
