Hofke van Bazel
Romantic countryside fine dining destination with French-Flemish elegance, organic garden-to-table ethos, and intimate boutique suites — all adult-only, all deeply food-focused
Book the Loft au 5IÈME Ciel (€389/night) for the rooftop terrace — it's the only room with an outdoor space that gives you real sky views over the polders
Why It Matters
Holds both a Michelin Red Star (since 2013) and a Michelin Green Star (since 2021) — rare double recognition that marks it as a serious destination for sustainable fine dining. Gault&Millau 15/20. Also holds 5 Radishes from We're Smart World for vegetable-forward cooking. The on-site kitchen garden in the Kruibeke polders is the heart of the whole operation.
Hofke van Bazel is a dual act: a serious one-Michelin-star restaurant paired with five luxury suites, all run by chef Kris De Roy and his partner Gina Miurin on the medieval church square of the tiny Flemish village of Bazel. The kitchen earns both a red and a green Michelin star — De Roy cooks seasonally from his own organic kitchen garden in the nearby Kruibeke polders, and Gina's own vegetarian menu runs parallel to every meat-forward option. It's 15 km from Antwerp, but it feels much further.
