Peter Vangenechten has made the small rural village of Bel a landmark of Belgium’s culinary landscape. The chef learned the trade in top establishments before returning to his roots, where he has entirely reworked the stables of a former 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. Subtly balanced side dishes, such as slowly cooked sweet onions, marinated beetroot, fresh marinated fennel and frothy mashed potatoes, add a touch of perfection to tender, melt-in-the-mouth Holstein beef. A knockout Choron sauce unveils the chef’s knack for jus and gravies. Proud of its distinctive personality and character, La Belle is emblematic of its charismatic chef who is ever happy to pop out and give diners more ample explanations. We recommend the all-inclusive menu to best appreciate the full gamut of the skills of this accomplished chef!
