“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. 


Another star for La Belle

This afternoon, at the Handelsbeurs in the heart of Antwerp, Michelin awarded its renowned Michelin stars. Restaurant La Belle has been awarded a star for the thirteenth year in a row. This distinction is a recognition of the hard work of the entire team and of all our partners, who continue to set the bar high. Naturally, we do all this with heart and soul to ensure our guests enjoy a pleasant experience at La Belle. Without our guests, there would be no La Belle. We are deeply grateful to Michelin and truly honoured by the awarding of this Michelin star.
