Bar Bulot by Hertog Jan
Gert De Mangeleer & Joachim Boudens
Chic, intimate and welcoming, Bar Bulot adds its classic blue and white hues and laid-back metropolitan vibe to the Botanic’s historic ambiance. Anything is possible in this relaxed brasserie: business meetings, a romantic tête-à-tête or a rendezvous with friends. Part of the Hertog Jan Restaurant Group and sister to Michelin-starred Bar Bulot in Bruges, the restaurant has been sensitively integrated into the ancient grounds of the Botanic. It’s the place to be for a contemporary spin on French and Belgian classics.
Belgium on a Plate
Back in the annals of history, it started as a simple seafood pop-up. Now it’s a fully-fledged restaurant tempting both meat and fish lovers. Experience the very best of Belgian brasserie cuisine with a delectable selection of seafood and shellfish, complemented by meaty classics.
Making it Happen
With their passion, knowledge and experience, Gert and Joachim combine the best available ingredients with relaxed hospitality and delicious simplicity – always aiming for perfection. Heading up the kitchen at the Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp are Manager Elske Mostert and Chef Koen Gussenhove. Discover tempting Flemish and French signature dishes such as eel with green herbs, paired perfectly with French and European wines. But it’s the team that makes the backbone: a carefully selected crew whose cohesion provides the best possible gastronomic experience.

MICHELIN Guide 2022
‘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.’
