The story
Lijsterbes is a classic cuisine restaurant at Donklaan 155 in Donk, Berlare, Belgium, and Gault&Millau awarded it 13.5 points in 2026. The restaurant sits at the Donkmeer and serves both lunch and dinner.
Chef Geert Van Der Bruggen has run the restaurant for more than 30 years. The kitchen's main feature is a classic French spit, which the guide describes as a foundational technique behind many of his preparations. Lunch and dinner both follow this approach.
Guests can eat outside, and the restaurant also offers a chef's table. Private parties, events and catering are part of the offer, along with takeaway.
