Selected entries from the current guide for Hasselt.
Hasselt, Belgium
JER holds a Michelin star in Hasselt's compact but serious dining scene, with Chef Wim Schildermans working in a modern cuisine register that has drawn consistent recognition since at least 2023. Situated on Persoonstraat in the city centre, the restaurant occupies a tier above the neighbourhood bistro but below the grand-format tasting table, a positioning that suits Hasselt's character well. Opinionated About Dining placed it among Europe's top classical tables in 2024.
Hasselt, Belgium
Ogst holds a Michelin star in Hasselt's compact fine-dining tier, pairing Modern French technique with organic produce sourced from local Belgian farmers. The Scandinavian-inflected interior keeps ceremony to a minimum while the kitchen pursues combinations of real precision, Jerusalem artichoke with squid and piquillo pepper, Landes chicken with Chinese artichoke and Albufera sauce. A focused, unpretentious address in a city that rewards those who look beyond Brussels.
Hasselt, Belgium
Moretti occupies a Michelin Plate position on Havermarkt in Hasselt, operating as both restaurant and wine bar across a full day: small snacks, pasta, and focaccia at lunch, antipasti in the afternoon, and a vegetable-forward Belgian evening menu. Recognised by Star Wine List as the number one wine address in the city for both 2024 and 2025, it sits at the serious end of Hasselt's Italian-inflected dining scene.
Hasselt, Belgium
ROSS sits on Het Dorp in Hasselt, where Glenn Ross and Nicole Schellekens bring structured Creative French cooking shaped by time at Hof Van Cleve and The Fat Duck. The kitchen operates with a clear logic: balance, texture, and vegetables given genuine weight rather than token inclusion.
Hasselt, Belgium
Brasserie Rongese occupies a position within Hasselt's mid-to-upper dining tier that few traditional kitchens manage: consecutive Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 and 2025 signals a consistent standard rather than a one-season performance. Situated along Runkstersteenweg on the city's edge, it offers the kind of grounded, produce-led cooking that sits at the opposite end of the spectrum from Hasselt's growing cluster of modern-French tasting-menu restaurants.
Hasselt, Belgium
A Michelin Plate recipient in both 2024 and 2025, De Kwizien brings creative French cooking to Hasselt's Jeneverplein at a €€€ price point.

Hasselt, Belgium
One of Belgium's oldest organic plant-based restaurants, De Levensboom has operated from Leopoldplein 44 in Hasselt for decades, building its menu daily around whatever arrives from local farms. The kitchen works strictly with organic, seasonal vegetables, and the menu shifts every day to reflect what the land is producing. For Hasselt's dining scene, it occupies a category largely its own.
Hasselt, Belgium
Open since 1977 and now run by the second generation, La Fontanella on Maastrichterstraat brings a purebred Italian sensibility to Hasselt's dining scene, with osso bucco as the house standard and white alba truffle shaved tableside in season. Artwork, soft lighting, and fresh flowers set the room apart from the city's more contemporary Italian options. Bookings are advised given its sustained local following.
Hasselt, Belgium
Among Hasselt's Michelin-recognised Modern French addresses, Leeuw on Ridder Portmansstraat occupies a considered mid-tier position where classical French technique meets contemporary Belgian sensibility.
Hasselt, Belgium
Lento on Zuivelmarkt 34 is Hasselt's dedicated all-vegan address, winner of the Belgian Vegan Award for Best Restaurant 2018, and the city's clearest argument that plant-based cooking belongs in the same conversation as the region's Burgundian table traditions. The format runs from a weekday blunch through a Sunday brunch, anchored by dishes like focaccia with hummus and penne no-chicken with curry sauce and mushrooms.
Hasselt, Belgium
Holding a Michelin Plate in 2025, Otoro occupies the upper tier of Hasselt's French contemporary dining scene, where the city's appetite for serious cooking meets a price point that signals genuine ambition. Positioned on Luikersteenweg, it draws from a tradition of craft-led French technique applied with a distinctly Belgian sensibility..
Hasselt, Belgium
On the rural edge of Hasselt, Vous lé vous operates from a premise that most Belgian restaurants talk about but few commit to fully: the vegetable as the architectural centre of the plate, not its supporting cast. Chef Giovani Oosters grows, harvests, and cooks from his own land, serving a six-course Pure Nature menu on Friday and Saturday evenings. A boutique hotel sits alongside, making an overnight stay a practical option.
