“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. 


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. His creative and beautifully presented dishes focus on local ingredients that are perfectly cooked and finely seasoned. Vegetables play an important role in this cuisine ... A higher rating and third chef's hat are deserved.’ 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.
