Hertog Jan at Botanic

"A meal by Gert de Mangeleer and sommelier Joachim Bouden is in a class of its own. First the swish Botanic Hotel, which immerses you in a world unlike any other. Concrete and muted shades of grey set the scene in the intimate restaurant which boasts a breathtaking architectural backdrop. In a bid to maintain the element of surprise, the establishment asks guests not to post photos on social media, so we won’t dwell on the amazing chef’s table where diners are invited to admire the chef at work first hand either. Suffice it to say that chef De Mangeleer’s love affair with Asia grows more pronounced over time. Knife-edged precision and boundless creativity remain the hallmark of this chef, who painstakingly pairs daring combinations of ingredients. For example, he may flank langoustine with passion fruit, vanilla oil, cocoa and an exquisite shellfish jus. The chef’s talent shines through in his flair for culinary sophistication and unorthodox ideas that enhance the taste and flavour of each ingredient, as he reinvents textbook techniques and jazzes up pedigree recipes with his inimitable stamp. A truly unforgettable experience, whose memory will linger long in our minds." - Michelin Inspector

What Makes a Restaurant Romantic? 14 Restaurants Weigh In

"A restaurant is made romantic by several things together. First of all, the overall atmosphere: the setting (preferably not too far apart), the lighting and the right music. On the other hand, the service also has an important function in sensing what attention a couple wants or does not want." - Jillian Dara

Last Dinners: Why Are These Top Restaurants Around The World Closing Down?

"Three-Michelin-starred modern Belgium restaurant Hertog Jan in Belgium will close on 22 December 2018 after 13 years. The dynamic duo, chef Gert De Mangeleer and sommelier Joachim Boudens, shook the Belgian culinary circles when they made the shock announcement last December—and in the wee hours of the morning. In a statement, they said: “Our biggest dream has always been to stop with Hertog Jan at the pinnacle of our career.”" - Kenneth Goh

What an experience! We had high expectations when we started our evening at Hertog Jan but after 14 courses we were flabbergasted by the creativity and taste of every dish. This mixed with a highly skilled, motivated and friendly staff and we had the best cocktail to enjoy our night fully. We even got an additional dish to take home and enjoy the experience further the day after. Thanks to the amazing staff for the wonderful dinner!

This was an excellent experience. The food amazing, bold flavors expertly combined, quite some memorable dishes like the unsalted caviar, the mushroom ‘stew’, the white asparagus. Great wine selection and great service.

We had a wonderful experience during our lunch at Hertog Jan. This was our first visit to a 3 star restaurant after we ate at several 1 and 2 star restaurants and it totally lived up to our expectations. The plates look amazing and taste even better. The service is spot on and the attention to detail is incredible.

Pretentious and not very inventive. Form dominates over content. In the middle of the meal, I had a mild allergic reaction (skin turning red and fingertips turning red, numb and itchy). I have never had allergic reactions before in my life. Maybe due to the food ingredients or the cutlery (they use tin implements for some of the courses). The restaurant could not provide any anti-histaminic. When I asked for a glass of water, the waitress first engaged in a long conversation with another table and finally brought a glass of water with a long face. My mood and evening were ruined. Michelin stars lately say more about the "have you seen me" mentality than about real craftsmanship.

Amazing building, splendid herbs garden, very nice service with a little tour to the kitchen and to the garden. We took surprise menu n2, and the food was delicious in general, though, to my taste, some dishes were a bit too salty than they should have been. But all in all the experience is very good. The prices are what you expect from a 3 star restaurant. Unfortunatelly they gonna permanently close the place by the end of the year. Hurry up if you want to enjoy this legendary restaurant.

Fits the bill for a Michelin 3* restaurant. Nearly flawless service, classic cuisine with inventive twists, a garden that provides many of the accents. Almost everyone speaks at least 3 languages. It's in a restored historic farmhouse that's a 20-30 min drive out of Bruges. This cuisine is actually art and worth the expense account price tag every so often.

One of the best meals I have had. The experience the friendly service. And the view was all worth it. Yes it's pricey, but you can't put a dólar sign on such an incredible experience. Worth every penny.
