The story
In the heart of Halle, a restaurant with a 129-year history continues to evolve. Les Eleveurs, established in 1897, is a place where the warmth of a family home meets the precision of a kitchen that has earned a place in the MICHELIN Guide 2026. The De Brouwer family’s legacy of hospitality is now in the hands of Julian and Annelies, who run the hotel and restaurant as their second home, welcoming guests to feel the same.
The kitchen here is rooted in the Pajottenland’s culinary heritage. Gastronomy is built on Belgian tradition, with a focus on seasonality, locally sourced ingredients, and refinement. The menu reflects this commitment to classic cuisine, offering dishes that celebrate the region’s bounty. Look for starters like Flemish asparagus or a roll of young leek with smoked salmon, followed by mains such as Coucou de Maline with green asparagus and cumin jus, or a Beef “Rouge de Flandre” with sauce Bourguignon. The kitchen also shows its range with a lamb “Wellington” and a vegan Pavlova for dessert.
Being selected in the MICHELIN Guide 2026 is a recognition of the team’s ongoing dedication to meaningful culinary experiences and thoughtful hospitality. It is a nod to the craftsmanship that has been officially recognized by Belgium, and a sign of a kitchen that values authenticity over flash.
The atmosphere is cozy and casual, embodying the true meaning of home. Whether you are visiting for a Sunday brunch, an after-work drink, or a full dinner, the setting is welcoming. With a terrace for warmer months and a dining room that balances comfort with a sense of occasion, Les Eleveurs is a genuine hotspot in Halle, where the food and the welcome are equally considered.
