FOOD
Rediscovering the past for your dining pleasure
At Witloof the focus is not so much on "Haute Cuisine" as on honest pure food: handmade, natural, organic, sustainable and fair. Traditional dishes tastefully prepared after our own family recipes.
As we grow older, we associate many fond memories with food. Scents and tastes have the power to take us back in time, reminding us of days gone by. The "good old-fashioned," as they say, is a product of pure nostalgia.
Fortunately, the simple, quality cuisine of yesteryear has not totally disappeared. Smart chefs have adopted Grandmother's recipes and enriched them as well. The fancy word for it is "cuisine du terroir." But we didn't arrive at our chosen concept by nostalgia alone; our goal was to interpret this movement with humour and style.
Witloof looks at what lies behind us, to the time when Belgium was distinguished by its kitchen. For too long we were unaware of the singularity and quality of this cuisine. Simple, uncomplicated, yet very tasty dishes prepared with classic ingredients, representative of the values championed by the 'Academy of Regional Gastronomy' in Hasselt.
Every week we offer a fresh menu of high quality at good value, served in a casual and creative atmosphere. The principle is simple: choose as many courses you like from a wide range of tasty dishes, for yourself to enjoy or to share with others (because sharing is cool!).
We always offer several vegetarian options, and are happy to meet the needs of guests with dietary restrictions, such as diabetes and gluten- or lactose-intolerance. The dishes to which such adjustments are possible are indicated on the menu, and if you inform us of your requirements when booking your reservation we'll gladly do what we can to further accomodate you. For example, if you follow a gluten-free diet and you inform us ahead of time, we'll bake fresh gluten-free bread in the afternoon for your meal.
Prix Fixe Menu
3-course menu for a maximum price of € 49.50.
Menu valid from June 19, 2026. Please note that all items remain subject to occasional changes.
Several great vegetarian options are always available. We are more than happy to accommodate guests with allergies or dietary requirements (such as diabetes, gluten-free, or lactose-free diets). Although we indicate when modifications are possible, we greatly appreciate being informed of your visit in advance whenever possible.
The Zeeland mussel season has started once again. We work with fresh daily deliveries, so availability is limited. To avoid disappointment, we strongly recommend reserving your pot of mussels in advance.
The numbers listed after each dish refer to our beer recommendations, each corresponding to at least three of the 351 beers in our selection. And for those wondering whether we only serve beer: no need to panic! We also offer excellent Belgian wines, refreshing drinks from Leuven, and plenty more from our fridge — almost like a real restaurant…
BUT ENOUGH TALK!
Menu subject to change.
À bientôt, à la votre…
