Hof van Cleve Kruisem Reviews
World-class dining in a perfect setting
Hof van Cleve is simply unforgettable. We enjoyed sparkling wine and small bites on the terrace before moving inside for the tasting menu with wine pairings, and everything was flawless. The service was warm, professional, and very knowledgeable. Each dish was beautifully prepared, refined, and full of flavor without being overly complicated. I appreciated the flexibility to adjust my menu to pescatarian options, and the vegetarian menu also looked amazing. Meeting Chef Goossens was a special highlight. Truly one of the best dining experiences anywhere.
Take your time, it’s worth every second.
There is nothing casual about this place. You are welcomed and treated with deference and courtesy throughout. Being Flemish and being raised in family enjoying traditional cuisine and wines, I felt completely at home here. We went for the 5 course with the excellent wine paring. The amuses were nothing to be shy about: kaviar, foie gras, we were going the full length here. First course: North Sea crab was just what it says and was excellent. The tarbot was sublime. The signature pigeon will never be able to top the pigeon my grandfather used to serve me as a kid 40 years ago but was up to par. Desert is gracious and the accompanying cakes are, like the bread, undefeated compared to even the best bakery in the area. It took me a while to absorb it all.
A memorable experience
Absolute perfection from start to finish. The pacing and choreography of the front of house staff was second to none. Knowledgeable and professional, eager and personable, I cannot speak highly enough of the staff. Each bite and sip was meticulously curated to create a truly unique and unforgettable experience. My wife and I both enjoyed the seven course “Simplicity of Nature” with juice & infusions and selected wines. I am sincere when I say it was the best meal I’ve ever had. Chef Floris has created something truly special. When he kindly graced our table to inquire on the service, all we could really convey was “Thank you for having us”. We were at a loss. It was perfect. This place is worth the trip. It’s small, intimate, and focuses on local, quality ingredients. It sets the standard.
Dine with healthy nerves in a mythical place
What can be said about this culinary heaven? Our second encounter with a three-star kitchen came with some nerves, as this place is somewhat mythical and we also came to dine during the last period of Peter Goossens, which made it even more special. Each dish was a work of art in itself, the wines a delight for the senses, and the highlight was surprisingly the ham mousse, despite being only an appetizer. We thought the event seemed a bit cold, but the whole thing was still an unforgettable and unique experience.
Superb culinary experience
One of the best culinary experiences ever! Never eaten so much before. I think the photos speak for themselves in that respect :-)
made in Flanders
up and down!!! not only the taste is discussed, but every plate is a masterpiece for the eye. Different style than Paul Bocuse.. also a different era, but both masters in their kitchen
We had a lot of fun with this menu.
A new detour in Flanders, direction Hof van Cleve. The famous house of former 3-star chef Peter Goossens was recently taken over by his right-hand man Floris Van Der Veken. And in eight weeks he and his team managed to win two Michelin stars. Sitting on classic bases twisted by modern influences. We could describe this cuisine as generous. Impeccable and incredibly high-quality service, a real ballet. We had a lot of fun with this menu. And the cheese cart is worth the detour alone. I will also remember the hot version of the Zelande mussel which was incredible.
This is front-row enjoyment.
This is a truly culinary fantastic event, there are certainly no star restaurants, but I definitely didn't want to miss this one, this is a total picture event, a well-oiled machine, you feel at ease, take a seat and enjoy (not a decadent affair). ) from the beginning to the end. (4.5 hours in our case), it feels like you have a greet and meet with a mega celeb. This is delicious food and drinks, sometimes with a nice quip from the team. Enjoyed to the fullest. Awesome overall picture.
Amazing
Magical experience. The food was beyond expectations. Beautifully presented and amazing taste. Every dish was well thought out. Would highly recommend.
Culinary enjoyment at the highest level!
Hof van Cleve has attracted our attention for years, but we waited in vain for an invitation from a good soul to treat us there 🤭😂 Then we took the bull by the horns and, barely a month after the start-up of Hof van Cleve 2.0, yesterday went on a gastronomic voyage of discovery with good friends on our own initiative. In summary, it means that the four of us thoroughly enjoyed 4 hours and ended up with one culinary surprise after another. Top in every respect! An experience you will never forget, ending with a spontaneous and sympathetic conversation with chef Floris Van der Veken. We will definitely come back here and to put it in the striking words of Jan Claeys from the Nieuwsblad/De Gentenaar: the former Michelin stars that were temporarily removed from the wall and are lying somewhere in the garden, but will soon be back on the wall are confirmed. Wondering if Michelin thinks the same way. Next week we may already know whether 1 or 2 * can be recovered from the garden. Would certainly be well deserved for Floris and his super team. We 👍 and will definitely come back here - on occasion -! Danny Bockstaele from Ghent
Hof Van Cleve-Floris, highly recommended
Had an a la carte lunch. Sublime. Chef Floris gives classics a new beautiful swing. Hof van Cleve-Floris: a winner. Absolutely recommended. The total experience is maximum. Congratulations to the entire team.
Still the absolute top outside of category
With great curiosity I went to HVC, but it wasn't really necessary. With the exception of Peter G, the team has remained almost the same with an entrance from a young sommelier on top. The style is identical, as is the high quality of welcome, service, well selected wines, in short, everything. Still managed on the right track by the experienced maitre d' Serge, who keeps the good mood going with a quip At a lonely height Let the starry rain fall again!

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Hof van Cleve Kruisem at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Hof van Cleve Kruisem page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Hof van Cleve Kruisem to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Hof van Cleve Kruisem!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
