A 45min drive on a manual car right after landing 🇧🇪 from a 8h flight for the first time in 18 months, the excitement was real! 🎉 I was going to visit @peter_goossens , the father of Belgium cuisine who bought the restaurant in 1987 (my birthday!), introduced the gastronomic menu in 1992 and finally achieving the highest recognition 🌟🌟🌟 in 2005. The meal was pure perfection from the warm greeting🤗... More

A 45min drive on a manual car right after landing 🇧🇪 from a 8h flight for the first time in 18 months, the excitement was real! 🎉 I was going to visit @peter_goossens , the father of Belgium cuisine who bought the restaurant in 1987 (my birthday!), introduced the gastronomic menu in 1992 and finally achieving the highest recognition 🌟🌟🌟 in 2005. The meal was pure perfection from the warm greeting🤗 by wife Lieve who welcome me like a child she hasn’t seen in ages, to the perfect bread 🥖 cart rolling out baked joys, the choreographed service with those white gloves table-side presentations, a unique location surrounded by peace and tranquillity, topping the evening off with one of the top dessert 🧁 carts in Europe (we love mignardises remember). This menu takes global inspiration using local ingredients. The highlight chicken liver mouse wrapped in gold served with hazelnut and cavaillon melon is a statement of the perfect combination achieved by this restaurant, a restaurant that besides the years operating, it is up and in front of the culinary scene in Europe and beyond 🗺 , long live the king 👑 Less

Lunch at Hof van Cleve

on 11 Oct 2018

by Gerhard Huber

Peter Goosen is one of the most reliable destinations one can think of. Tugged away in country side outside Ghent, he continues to produce food from outstanding ingredients, which he pairs with a never failing skill to create flavour profile which for this menu had a slight Asian touch.
The execution is flawless. Sitting there during lunch and enjoying this food is without any doubt one of the great treats one can get in Belgium.

I used to go there a lot, I love this place but have not been there for years. I forgot how much I missed it. Now that I know, I had to catch up and went there twice in the last 6 months.

I used to go there a lot, I love this place but have not been there for years. I forgot how much I missed it. Now that I know, I had to catch up and went there twice in the last 6 months.

Peter Goossens, the doyen of Belgian fine dining, the man who put this country on the map, the man who taught the framers what to do, the man who created his own ecosystem in order to provide his guests what he thinks they deserve.

After all those years he is going strong, introducing new flavours, changing his complete menu four times a year. Executing his menus with precision which shows his love for his profession and his craft.

I only can hope that he will stay where he is for a long time to come. Less
