The story
Brasserie Rongese, at Runkstersteenweg 226 in Hasselt, cooks traditional Flemish brasserie food, and its kitchen earned a Gault&Millau score of 13 in 2026.
The menus lean on Flemish staples such as asparagus prepared the Flemish way and veal escalope served with peas à la française. The restaurant was founded with a former sous chef from Het Scholteshof, a kitchen known for classic Flemish cooking. Lunch runs on Thursdays and Fridays, with a three-course option alongside single-dish choices.
Gault&Millau singles out fried turbot and steak tartare among the classics. Reviewers mention the shrimp croquettes and the entrecôte, cooked to order. The wine list, shaped by the owner's background as a sommelier, mixes familiar bottles with more unusual ones, and a rotating selection of speciality beers is on tap.
