humus x hortense

The term ‘vegan’ hardly does justice to the plant-based fine dining of Humus x Hortense. The botanical tasting menu changes according to the year’s 24 micro seasons and following the rhythm of the wild farm Le Monde des Mille Couleurs.

The restaurant strives for the highest quality of ingredients and at the same time the lowest food waste thanks to ancient conservation techniques and zero-waste cocktails.

Already in 2008, the visionary culinary couple Nicolas Decloedt and Caroline Baerten has started the concept of ‘botanical gastronomy’.

After all these years of pioneering, humus x hortense is awarded with a Michelin star (2023) and Michelin green star (2021).
The restaurant received in 2022 the award for Best Sustainable Restaurant by Gault & Millau, got listed in the World 50 Best Restaurant guide in the category 50 Best Discovery and is number one in the 360° Eat Guide known for their assessment of both gastronomy and sustainability.

Nicolas Decloedt is voted as the ‘Best Vegetable Chef’ by the renowned culinary guide Gault & Millau (15/20). And on top of that, the restaurant is listed within top 10 of 100 Best Vegetables Restaurants worldwide by We’re Smart Green Guide.
