The chef and his cuisine
© Michael DehaspeHe learnt about delicious food at his mother’s knee. Discovering all about this has become his life’s work. He deconstructs it, examines it, considers it letter by letter and puts it back together to create something that’s truly delicious, for the eye, the nose, the tongue and the skin…

Hertog Jan began as a bar, a stopover between Bruges and Zevenkerken. It became a cafe/bar/brasserie and has grown to become what it is today. Hertog Jan now offers contemporary cuisine, with a local twist and global touches. Simply presented. Chef Gert De Mangeleer uses home-grown products from his own farm.
