“La Belle is like coming home to me” - chef Peter Vangenechten
As of a very young age, Peter has been inspired by cooking.
He stood next to chefs in top restaurants domestic and abroad.
Just before he turned thirty – after being away from home for 15 years – he was eager to return to his roots and to open his own restaurant in his native village of Geel-Bel.
Following valuable mentions in Gault&Millau, he received a Michelin star in 2013 which he defended with flying colours in the past years.
New season, new menu
A new season means a new menu at La Belle! From Friday 28 March, we welcome you to discover our brand new dishes, which focus on the best of spring. As an ode to the asparagus season, we have reserved a special place for this culinary gem. To this end, we are working closely with local producer De Aspergehoeve in Geel, so that you can enjoy the most refined and crisp-fresh asparagus dishes. We are grateful to Gault&Millau Belgium for the words of praise and for grading our restaurant. This is only possible thanks to the hard work of the whole team, our passionate (working) partners and the trust of our guests.
Higher rating in Gault&Millau 2025
On Monday 4 November, the new Gault&Millau Guide 2025 was presented. Restaurant La Belle receives a higher rating and rises to a score of 15/20 with three chef's hats. 💬 ‘The atmosphere is particularly relaxed and pleasant and this striking casualness is also found on the plate.
