Immerse yourself in Belgian gastronomy by following the "Route du Bonheur" of Relais & Châteaux.
Start your week-long trip in Brussels with a lunch or dinner at Le Chalet de la ForĂŞt **. On the edge of the beautiful Sonian Forest, renowned Chef Pascal Devalkeneer achieves the perfect balance between traditional and avant-garde concepts.
Next, travel to West Flanders, where only 50 meters from the Place du MarchĂŠ, youâll find a fine 19th-century building housing the Hotel Heritage, Relais & Chateaux, Bruges, Belgium. This is the ideal starting point to explore the historic, mythical, and romantic city of Bruges on foot, by carriage, or by boat, along with its museums and boutiques. To savor local cuisine, head to Le Mystique restaurant.
Then, journey to Antwerp, the culinary capital of Flanders. On the ninth floor of Antwerp's Museum of Historical Culture (MAS), masterpieces of a very special kind await. Here, self-taught Chef Viki Geunes has established his restaurant Zilte ***. Enjoy moments of discovery and emotion, with a breathtaking view of the harbor and the city of Antwerp.
Last but not least, wind through orchards and hills to discover the lush greenery and beautiful landscape of the province of Limburg. Beyond the sheer beauty of Kasteel van Ordingen, the remarkable hospitality of its owner, Richard Sleurs, makes guests feel immediately at home. Gilding, antiques, and Flemish Renaissance architecture set the scene for this exceptional hotel, which has been lavishly restored and modernized, as shown in its 32 rooms and suites. Ideal for a relaxing family break or a romantic weekend, enjoy an intimate Vespa ride or a leisurely jaunt on an electric bicycle. End this fine journey in the best way possible at Restaurant Aurum *, where Chef Gary Kirchens offers a flavorsome, responsible, and highly refined cuisine.
