Eyckerhof by Nicolas Mylle: Modern French Dining in Puurs, Belgium

A New Chapter in Bornem

In the quiet town of Bornem, near Puurs, Eyckerhof by Nicolas Mylle has become a destination for those who appreciate thoughtful, refined Modern French cuisine. The restaurant, set in a dreamy location along the Spuistraat, is now under the dedicated stewardship of Nicolas Mylle and Charlotte Debecker. The couple met during their studies at the renowned hotelschool Spermalie and honed their skills in several top restaurants before taking the helm at Eyckerhof. After four years of working alongside the previous team, they are now ready to continue the restaurant’s rich tradition with respect for the past and a fresh perspective on the future.

Classic Foundations, Creative Flourishes

The kitchen, led by chef Nicolas Mylle, builds on a solid classical base while introducing creative nuances that bring vibrancy to every plate. Michelin, which recommended Eyckerhof in its 2026 guide, described the style as “classic with a twist in a dreamy setting,” adding that “the foundation is still classic, creative nuances provide liveliness.” This philosophy is evident in the menu, which offers a choice of four to seven courses, including a "Terre et Mer" selection. Standout dishes range from a signature chef’s creation featuring Royal Belgian Caviar to carefully composed plates of turbot, langoustine, and Wagyu. The à la carte menu, available on select days, also features chef’s favorites like European lobster and ris de veau.

A Complete Experience

Charlotte Debecker ensures the front-of-house experience matches the kitchen’s precision. The restaurant offers an extensive wine list carefully selected to complement the meal, and guests can also opt for a juice pairing. For those seeking a more intimate gathering, private dining is available on Sundays for parties of 30 or more. Eyckerhof is open for lunch and dinner from Tuesday through Saturday, with weekly closure on Saturday afternoon, Sunday, and Monday. Whether you’re drawn by the Michelin recommendation or the promise of a quietly excellent meal, Eyckerhof by Nicolas Mylle delivers Modern French cuisine that feels both grounded and inspired.
