First created as a space to demonstrate the use of charcoal ovens, the demo kitchen grew and expanded to become the busy restaurant that serves delicious food to local and visiting customers today.
Owner Stijn Maes explains that opening the restaurant was almost accidental, it grew step by step, and Stijn’s passion for cooking great quality beef grew along with it.
Still true to its charcoal oven foundations, Gust’eaux is famous for serving meat on the bone, grilled in an open kitchen. The beef is not only the star on the plate, it is also a central part of the restaurant experience, the visual celebration of great beef, flames, smoke and the intensity of the busy kitchen is central to the restaurant’s offering. Gust’eaux, Stijn explains is all about honest cooking done properly.
