AT BOTANIC
ANTWERP

EXPERIENCE

Gert De Mangeleer and Joachim Boudens welcome you at Hertog Jan at Botanic Sanctuary. We are proud to be in Antwerp and to be able to immerse you in our culinary total experience. This unique experience is a crucial element of our 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. At Hertog Jan at Botanic Sanctuary, all senses are stimulated, from the welcoming words to the final greeting of the kitchen.

*Due to the specific nature of this experience, we unfortunately cannot take into account all food allergies, dietary requirements, or eating habits. Adjustments are only possible to a limited extent.

ABOUT HERTOG JAN AT BOTANIC ANTWERP

At the end of 2018, Hertog Jan in Zedelgem (near Bruges) closed its doors. To many, this decision came as a surprise, but Gert De Mangeleer and Joachim Boudens deemed it a logical step in their careers. They wanted to make time for other projects and new dreams: a brasserie with perfectly-executed, classic dishes (Bar Bulot) and a trendy restaurant with worldly influences (LESS Eatery).

In the summer of 2020, they receive a proposal to participate in the unique total experience of hotel Botanic Sanctuary in Antwerp. There, Hertog Jan revives with a unique and fixed menu in an intimate setting with its own greenhouse, beehives, and herb garden. Botanic Sanctuary is the first five-star hotel in Antwerp, with more than a hundred intimate rooms and suites, a state-of-the-art spa, and several other high-quality restaurants, such as the second establishment of Bar Bulot. Botanic Sanctuary is an architectural masterpiece, yet at the same time a peaceful oasis in the heart of the city of Antwerp.
