Jan Van den Bon

The restaurant Jan Van den Bon is beautifully situated on the Citadel Park, the green lung of Ghent, a stone's throw from the city center and alongside the small ring road around Ghent, so also easily accessible for those coming from the highway.

The cuisine of Mastercook Jan Van den Bon is the reflection of his food culture and personality, founded in his youth by his parents who, as precursors of the current hype around balanced nutrition, were concerned about what came home on the table.

Coming from Mechelen, the vegetable region par excellence, the overwhelming contribution of vegetables - some of which he grows himself - in his cooking style, is self-evident. They each devise a separate preparation method that best underline their specific taste and texture qualities.

In addition, he attaches the greatest importance to the sauces because of their underlined and juicy effect, invariably without cream but with extracts of vegetable or meat stocks, they seem to have been plucked from the “simmered cuisine'', for him the real one. In short, this is an extremely tasteful, healthy kitchen where you continuously compose with flavours, smells and colours, textures and temperatures in an attempt to pamper all your senses.
