Fine Fleur
RESTAURANT SUMMARY

Where Michelin-starred precision meets botanical serenity, Fine Fleur Antwerpen transforms the historic Botanic Sanctuary Hotel into Belgium's most captivating fine dining destination. Dutch culinary masters Jacob Jan Boerma and Thomas Diepersloot have crafted a restaurant that redefines contemporary French cuisine through their distinctive lens of "pure indulgence."
Since earning its Michelin star in 2021, Fine Fleur has established itself as Antwerpen's premier gastronomic sanctuary. The partnership between Boerma and Diepersloot brings decades of international expertise to this intimate 12-table restaurant, where their philosophy of "big-boned perfection" elevates every element of the dining experience. Housed within a meticulously renovated monastery, the restaurant represents the pinnacle of best restaurants Antwerpen has to offer, combining Dutch culinary daring with French finesse.
The six-course tasting menu showcases exceptional local ingredients transformed through innovative techniques and global influences spanning Asian, Spanish, and North American flavors. Signature creations include their celebrated scallop tartare, where pristine shellfish meets black truffle in multiple expressions—jelly, frothy mousse, and zesty crème—bound together with button mushrooms and truffle-sweet vinegar dressing. Each dish demonstrates the meticulous, spot-on cooking that defines Fine Fleur's approach, while the dedicated pastry chef provides inspired flourishes that complete the culinary narrative.
The restaurant's design by Dennis T'Jampens creates an atmosphere of contemporary elegance within the historic monastery walls. Guests observe the kitchen team through smoked glass partitions, while Kreon's sophisticated lighting design bathes the space in warm, atmospheric tones. The exclusive four-seat chef's table, requiring months-advance booking, offers the ultimate insider perspective on Boerma and Diepersloot's culinary artistry. The enthusiastic, youthful service team ensures every detail contributes to the restaurant's reputation for seamless hospitality.
Fine Fleur's inspired wine-food pairings elevate each course, with expert sommeliers selecting bottles that complement the menu's seasonal evolution. The restaurant's position within Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp allows for comprehensive experiences, including overnight packages with gourmet breakfast and access to Henry's Bar.
For discerning diners seeking Antwerpen fine dining at its most refined, Fine Fleur reservations represent access to culinary excellence that few establishments can match. Book well in advance to secure your place at this botanical haven where Dutch innovation and French tradition create unforgettable gastronomic memories.
