De Karmeliet

 

This iconic former three-star restaurant of chef Geert Van Hecke is home to the Culinary Arts students of VIVES University College and at the same time the beautiful setting for a wonderful culinary experience.

​

Every year, the doors of this iconic building swing wide open to the general public. In autumn, from Monday to Thursday, for dinner prepared by the second-year Culinary Arts students and in spring for dinner prepared by the first-year Culinary Arts students. 

​​​

We are thrilled to offer you a unique dining experience where you can support our students while enjoying a delicious meal.

 

Book your table now and indulge in fine dining prepared by our talented culinary students.

​

​The service is both in Dutch and English due to our international student pool.
