CRKL in Roeselare: Modern Cuisine by Sam Swaenepoel

CRKL serves modern cuisine at Diksmuidsesteenweg 351a in Roeselare, and the Michelin Guide listed it as Recommended in 2026. Sam Swaenepoel and his team cook to the seasons, with a set menu as the format.

A light room and seasonal cooking

Gault&Millau gave CRKL 13.5 points in 2026. Its inspectors describe a large, clean-lined building with a light, contemporary interior. White and pink curtains separate the tables, which adds privacy. The kitchen's modern creations follow the season and arrive as a menu.

What the menus offer

The four-course Carré+ costs €79, and the five-course CRKL+ costs €95. Both open with a Dieppe scallop, pumpkin, kale and walnut, then move to monkfish with curry and leek. Holstein beef follows, with Brussels sprout, parsnip and red wine sauce. Dessert is mandarin with celeriac, almond and milk chocolate. The longer menu has a supplement for the chef's signature dish, half a lobster with hofmeesterboter.
