The story
In the quiet village of Hertsberge, surrounded by woodland, Restaurant Schatteman offers a dining experience that feels removed from everyday life. Chef Gregory and his wife Marieke run this intimate spot, where the focus is on pure flavours and seasonal ingredients. The setting is a green oasis of calm, and the restaurant’s Michelin Recommended status reflects the consistent quality of the cooking.
The kitchen works with a philosophy of respect for each product and each season. Guests choose from several set menus, starting with a three-course Marktmenu and moving up to the seven-course Schatteman Experience, which includes aperitifs, wine pairing, and petits fours. The menus change regularly, but sample dishes give a clear sense of the kitchen’s style: Dutch yellowtail kingfish with kiwi and radish, or a house favourite of confit fennel with lobster and chorizo ragout. Main courses might feature Belgian white asparagus soup with foie gras terrine, or cod with peanut jus. A Vol-au-Vent with chicken Dumas and veal sweetbreads is a luxurious nod to Belgian tradition. The wine pairings are carefully chosen to match each course, and a cheese selection from affineur Van Tricht is available for those who want to extend the meal.
The team at Schatteman aims to make every guest feel looked after, from the first amuse to the last coffee. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner from Thursday to Sunday, and the atmosphere is described as refined yet convivial. Whether you are celebrating with family, friends, or business partners, the setting encourages you to linger and enjoy the moment. As the restaurant puts it, they serve “good food in a good mood,” with refinement on the plate and flavour in the glass.
