Botanic Experiences
Botanic at a Glance
Where the splendour of nature and history combines with sophisticated luxury. Where wedding vows are made and love is celebrated. Where businesses meet and people connect. This is the Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp at a glance.
‘This restaurant is housed in the classy contemporary interior of the swish Botanic Sanctuary Hotel. Fine Fleur is the brainchild of two Dutch-born chefs, Jacob Jan Boerma and Thomas Diepersloot, who have added a whole new dimension to the concept of fine casual dining. First-class ingredients, variations on acidic, subtle textures and gutsy traditions through heart-warming sauces. Perfect from start to finish.‘
‘A meal at Gert De Mangeleer and sommelier Joachim Boudens is a real experience. In this intimate restaurant, the chef offers a finely crafted cuisine with Asian inspirations, surprising and intense. His meticulousness keeps all your senses awake. A dizzying journey and emotions that we are not about to forget.’
‘A knockout restaurant flanked by an equally striking bar. Take a seat in the cosy, romantic conservatory overlooking the indoor garden of the luxurious Botanic Sanctuary Hotel. Each detail is a masterclass in understated elegance, providing the perfect foil for Wouter Van Tichelen’s vision of culinary excellence: Franco-Belgian repertory of first-rate produce, gutsy sauces and a zest of modernity.’
‘This smart, cosmopolitan brasserie, Antwerp’s offshoot of Bruge’s Bar Bulot, is set in the lavish Botanic Sanctuary Hotel. Traditional dishes such as vol-au-vent and veal kidneys in mustard are consummately updated to suit today’s palates. Top-notch ingredients and contemporary flavours, by way of exotic spices, add character to each dish.’
‘Renaissance van een topzaak: Luxehotel Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp is een ware hotspot voor de foodies onder ons.’
‘Hertog Jan is terug. Het restaurant had vroeger in het West-Vlaamse Zedelgem drie sterren. Maar chef-kok Gert De Mangeleer was toe aan een nieuwe uitdaging.’
‘De Mangeleer en Boudens keren terug naar topgastronomie met "intieme" Hertog Jan at Botanic in Antwerpen.’
‘Liefhebbers van topgastronomie kunnen vanaf dinsdag 5 oktober hun vingers gaan aflikken in het nieuwe restaurant van Gert De Mangeleer en Joachim Boudens.’
‘As one landmark restaurant closes, another re-opens.’
