De Karmeliet (***) temporarily open: students run a top business

There has been activity in this former three-star kitchen for a few months now: Vives University of Applied Sciences and Hotel School Ter Duinen are organizing their Culinary Arts training there.

Cooking at a prime location

Cooking is one thing, actually running a restaurant is also part of that training. And what better way to do that than in a prime location, in other words, at the teaching kitchen.

Star chef Geert Vanhecke, godfather of the training, is watching this week how students are doing in his former kitchen.
