Sir Kwinten

Young Master Glenn Verhasselt builds his culinary philosophy on three pillars: purity, authenticity, and absolute product quality. With a team of young, passionate chefs, he transforms seasonal ingredients into refined dishes that unite tradition and modernity. His culinary journey began at Hotelschool Ter Duinen in Koksijde and was enriched by experiences in top restaurants worldwide, resulting in a distinctive, recognizable style that earned him multiple prestigious awards.

Recognition for his craftsmanship came in 2017 with the title "Belgium's Chef of the Year" and in 2020 as "Young Top Chef of Belgium." The pinnacle followed in 2020 with his first Michelin star, followed by a second star in 2024. These accolades confirm his constant pursuit of perfection and his ability to reinvent classic techniques without compromising the essence of the ingredients.

Today, restaurant Sir Kwinten forms a harmonious whole where kitchen and wine cellar strengthen each other. Together with sommelier Yanick, Mastercook Glenn Verhasselt creates a gastronomic experience in which every element – from ingredient to wine pairing – is carefully balanced. This symbiotic approach, coupled with his unwavering focus on quality, makes Sir Kwinten a leading restaurant in the Belgian culinary scene.
