Maarten Bouckaert (Castor - Michelin ** | Gault&Millau 17/20)

Bouckaert is known for his technically refined cuisine, rooted in a strong classical French foundation and an exceptional sense of balance and precision. His dishes are defined by rich, well-executed sauces, a thoughtful selection of ingredients, and the subtle way he combines traditional techniques with modern accents, always guided by flavour.

This unique experience is accompanied by a selection of top wines from the cellars of Licata Vini, carefully curated by Laurent Licata.

€395 p.p. all-in

3 amuse-bouches – refined five-course menu – aperitif – carefully curated wine selection by Laurent Licata – water and coffee/tea

Maarten Bouckaert built his culinary experience in some of the most renowned kitchens, including Hof van Cleve, De Karmeliet, and The Fat Duck. This background now forms the foundation of his refined and thoughtful approach to gastronomy.

At Castor, he delivers a pure, product-driven cuisine where flavour takes centre stage. He works closely with local producers and is firmly committed to using seasonal, high-quality ingredients. His dishes are clean and precisely composed, free from unnecessary complexity, yet defined by a strong signature and a meticulous attention to detail.
