One Star: High quality cooking
MICHELIN Green Star
Chef Nicolas Decloedt and Caroline Baerten, your hostess and sommelière, were championing plant-based cuisine long before it became trendy. Their sustainable ethos and creativity have been a source of inspiration for many, what’s more they publish a sustainability report that can be consulted online by all and sundry. We warrant that a meal in this stylish, street corner edifice, whose Art nouveau interior is adorned with frescoes of angels and gilded ceilings, will be an unforgettable experience. The micro-seasons are reverently respected thanks to close ties with botanist-farmer Dries Delanote and other artisans. Light years from fads and fashions, zero waste is a state of mind here, leading to a bold, new, innovative look at gastronomy, whilst remaining accessible. An example: a plant-based croque monsieur with chimichurri-flavoured wild mushrooms, a spicy bechamel sauce and the natural fresh tang of a salsa verde of Green Zebra tomatoes. The sommelière deploys her immense talent for beverages, ranging from wine to alcohol-free juices, in a bid to further exalt the chef’s exuberant recipes. Humus x Hortense is truly in a class of its own.

"Humus x Hortense is the culinary brainchild of two creative chefs, Caroline Baerten and Nicolas Decloedt, who bend over backwards to pamper their guests. Their goal is to develop a new food system in a sustainable and regenerative perspective in order to align food consumption with the future, including in the fine dining field. Back in 2008, Caroline and Nicolas had already coined the expression, “botanical fine dining”, to define their sustainable vegetarian approach."

— Nicolas Decloedt
