The story

De Farmasie – Turnhout: Bib Gourmand Modern French Restaurant by Chef Lode

Quality, Freshness, and Purity

De Farmasie in Vosselaar, just outside Turnhout, is built on a simple recipe: quality, freshness, and purity. Chef Lode and his dedicated team translate these values into a Modern French cuisine that changes with the seasons. The kitchen uses modern techniques and a deep respect for ingredients, resulting in dishes that are both refined and honest.

Seasonal and Local

The restaurant’s commitment to local sourcing is tangible. Almost all vegetables come directly from Groentegeweld, a nearby farm in Weelde. This farm-to-table approach is at the heart of De Farmasie’s kitchen, ensuring that each plate reflects the best of the region’s bounty. Alongside the seasonal menus, a carefully curated wine list offers thoughtful pairings and expert advice from a team that shares a genuine passion for wine.

Recognition and Atmosphere

De Farmasie’s approach has earned it a place in both the Michelin Bib Gourmand guide (2026) and Gault Millau – a testament to the consistent quality and value it provides. The restaurant itself is welcoming and versatile: a cozy terrace for warm evenings, air-conditioned dining rooms, and three meeting spaces furnished with Italian design that can also serve as private dining rooms. Whether for a leisurely lunch, a festive dinner, or a private event, the atmosphere is relaxed and professional.

A Place for Every Occasion

Open for lunch on Thursdays and Fridays, and for dinner from Tuesday through Saturday, De Farmasie accommodates a range of gatherings. The team’s warmth and attention to detail, combined with the kitchen’s focus on pure, seasonal flavors, make each visit feel special. It is a restaurant that lets the food speak for itself, supported by a setting that is both stylish and comfortable.
