Jolien Van Puyvelde's kitchen

Chef Jolien Van Puyvelde builds her menu around "vas", the local dialect word for fresh. She looks for produce grown close to home and handles it simply. The restaurant calls it a no-nonsense kitchen, and the same attention to quality applies to the glass as to the plate. The Michelin Guide lists VAS as Recommended for 2026, and the French cooking here follows a farm-to-table line.

Roby Baccaert and the room

Her husband, Roby Baccaert, hosts the dining room. The setting is homely and unforced, with the stated aim that everyone feels welcome. Together they offer a personal, small-scale kind of evening.
