History

[edit]

Hof van Cleve was started as a simple restaurant in Flanders in the 80s. The owner sold it to Peter Goossens in 1987 with the agreement about no gastronomic menus for 5 years.[3][4] The gastronomic restaurant was opened in 1992. The name comes from the family who lived at that place until 1968, the Yard (hof) of the Cleve family.[5] It was awarded the Culinary Award of The Most Delicious Table in the Country 2 years later. It was also awarded for the Best Winelist and Best Champagne List (1994). In 1994, the restaurant received its first Michelin star. In 1998, Hof van Cleve got its second star and in 2005 its third Michelin star.[6][7][8][9][10] The restaurant has been the only gastronomy place with three Michelin stars in Belgium until 2021.[11] In 2003, Stijn Van der Beken from Hof van Cleve was recognised as the “Best Sommelier of Belgium 2004”.

Since 2004, the restaurant has also received a score of 19.5 on 20 according to GaultMillau.[12][13] In 2007–2008, the Hof van Cleve menus were served in brasserie-style in the Museum brasserie and Museum café situated in Brussels.[14] In 2012, the restaurant's sommelier Pieter Verheyde was recognised as the “Best Sommelier of Belgium 2012”. In 2016, Mathieu Vanneste from Hof van Cleve was honored with the same award. In 2020, the restaurant was closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic during the first (March — June 2020) and second (October 2020 — June 2021) lockdown.[15][16] In 2020, the restaurant's sommelier Tom Ieven who started in Hof van Cleve in January 2019 was recognised as the “Best Sommelier of the Year 2021” by Gault&Millau.
