The story
At De Gouden Muts in Westerlo, the focus is on gastronomic enjoyment grounded in respect for nature and its rhythm. Seasonal produce and market offerings form the base of carefully composed menus, a philosophy that has earned the restaurant a Michelin Recommended distinction.
The team describes culinary dining at a fair price with impeccable service as their core value. An open kitchen lets guests watch the chef at work, and a newly built garden room provides a fresh setting for the meal. The restaurant also offers a spacious private parking lot.
The menus change with the seasons. A degustation menu presents a series of precise courses, such as North Sea crab with celeriac and brioche, or asparagus from De Pleynhoeve with egg, mimolette, and Maltaise jus. Langoustine, calf with morels and sweetbread, and a Gariguette strawberry dessert are also featured. A Market Menu, available every day except Friday evening and Saturday, offers a three-course meal built around the day’s best produce.
The cuisine is a thoughtful expression of French culinary technique adapted to the local market, making De Gouden Muts a refined choice for lunch or dinner in the Kempen region.
