About Humus x Hortense*

The term ‘vegan’ hardly does justice to the plant-based fine dining experience at Humus x Hortense.
The botanical tasting menu changes according to the year’s 24 micros seasons, entirely depending on the harvest of their wild farm.
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 coined the concept of ‘botanical gastronom’.
After all these years of pioneering, humus x hortense is awarded with a Michelin star in 2023 and a Michelin Green Star in 2021.
Humus x Hortense is for those who want to learn more about sustainability in gastronomy and to contribute to a greener future.
