The story
In the quiet village of Westouter, near the French border, Vinke offers a contemporary dining experience shaped by a young, dynamic team. Run by Gilles and Deborah Demeere-Druelle, the restaurant welcomes guests into a refreshed, modern setting. The cuisine is rooted in seasonal ingredients and a modern approach, earning a Michelin Recommended award for its thoughtful cooking.
Vinke is more than a restaurant – it also functions as a versatile event space. The team caters for celebrations in their own dining room and party hall, and they take their cooking on the road for off-site events, with or without full service. Guests are encouraged to bring their own ideas and suggestions, making each gathering personal. The restaurant is open for dinner, with outdoor seating available when the weather allows.
Gilles and Deborah describe their style as “hedendaags en eigentijds” – contemporary and of its time. The menu changes with the seasons, reflecting what is fresh and local. Whether you come for a quiet dinner or a larger event, the team at Vinke aims to make every visit feel genuine and unhurried. Their Michelin recognition speaks to the consistent quality of their modern seasonal cuisine.
