Gert De Mangeleer and Joachim Boudens welcome you at their fine-dining restaurant Hertog Jan at Botanic Antwerp to immerse you in their culinary total experience. This unique experience is a crucial element of their concept, which can best be compared to a Japanese omakase menu. Literally: ‘I leave it to the chef.’ After all, Gert De Mangeleer is continuously looking for the best products and ingredients, in accordance with the season and supplies. He combines these in a harmonious package, which is balanced, well thought-out, and now and then with a wink. Like enjoying a concert with your eyes closed.
