The story
Hertog Jan at Botanic is an Asian fusion restaurant at Lange Gasthuisstraat 51, 2000 Antwerpen, and holds 2 Michelin stars (2026) for excellent cooking. Chef Gert De Mangeleer runs the kitchen inside the Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp hotel.
Gert De Mangeleer cooks a Japanese-inspired menu that changes with the seasons. The kitchen works mainly as omakase, so the chef chooses the courses and guests follow his sequence. Gault&Millau gave the restaurant 18 points in 2026 for its stylised creations.
The dining room seats 26 guests in a quiet space designed by architect Benoit Viaene. Omakase options run from €175 at lunch to €385 for the Deluxe menu, which opens with three amuses topped with caviar. Wine and non-alcoholic pairings are available with each menu.
