The story

Modest in Opglabbeek: Michelin-starred modern French cooking

Modest sits at Weg naar Opoeteren 117 in Opglabbeek, Belgium, where chef Sander Spreeuwers runs a modern French kitchen that earned one Michelin star in 2026.

Chef and cooking style

Sander Spreeuwers opened the restaurant on 1 February 2022 in a modern building. He trained at Hotelschool Ter Duinen in Koksijde and staged at several top restaurants, including El Celler de Can Roca in Girona. He later spent almost five years at Hertog Jan in Zedelgem under Gert De Mangeleer.

Room and atmosphere

The kitchen is open, set inside a minimalist building that looks out over the restaurant's own vineyard. The French cooking is pared back to essentials, and the wine list is considered and idiosyncratic. Guests can choose the à la carte menu or a tasting menu of three, four or five courses, with the three-course option served at lunch only and not on Saturdays.
