Busca un restaurante de la Guía MICHELIN

Frederick Dhooge is nothing if not single-minded, as he proved for many years at Huis van Lede and continues to do at In den Hert. His passion for traditional Gallic fare has resulted in a repertory that is as French as the Marseillaise. The road to the restaurant which winds through the hillsides of the Flemish Ardennes offers a foretaste of what you can expect. The characterful edifice on the picturesque village square is the epitome of nostalgic charm and sets the perfect scene for chef Dhooge’s gutsy menu. Knockout produce and rich, authentic flavours characterise his approach, while recipes that traverse the annals of French cookery, like bouillabaisse and vol-au-vent, acquire a new dimension thanks to the chef’s culinary wizardry. A pepper sauce adds a kick to a fillet of venison or an amazing mousseline sauce with baby hop shoots is paired with quail cooked on the bone: the chef’s talent and craftsmanship are crystal clear. Connoisseurs of French gourmet fare will appreciate the à la carte only menu and the wicked lineup of fascinating desserts (the Normandy pancake is to die for!). In den Hert is depicted by a passion for food, throbbingly good flavours and unadulterated dining pleasure.
