Restaurant Jan Van den Bon

The Restaurant Jan Van den Bon is beautifully situated at Citadelpark, the green heart of Ghent, just a stone's throw from the city center and alongside the inner ring around Ghent, making it easily accessible for those coming from the highway.

The cuisine at Mastercook Jan Van den Bon reflects his food culture and personality, shaped from his youth by his parents who, as early pioneers of today's focus on balanced nutrition, were committed to what made it onto the dinner table at home.

Hailing from Mechelen, the quintessential vegetable region, the overwhelming use of vegetables – some of which he grows himself – in his cooking style is simply second nature to him. Each vegetable receives a distinct, carefully crafted preparation method that best highlights its specific taste and textural qualities.

In addition, he attaches the greatest importance to sauces because of their underlying and juicy effect, invariably without cream but with extracts of vegetable or meat broths, they seem to have been plucked from the simmered cuisine, which for him is the real deal. In short, this is an extremely flavorful, healthy cuisine where flavors, smells, colors, textures, and temperatures are continuously composed in an attempt to pamper all the senses.
