Royal Club of Gastronomes of Belgium
Welcome to our gastronomic circle which celebrated its 80th anniversary in 2018. Our ambition is to promote throughout the territory of the Belgium, in its three regions, Flanders, Brussels and Wallonia, a recognised cuisine highlighting both local produce (e.g., hops sprouts, asparagus, Malines chicken, Ostend sole, chicory...) and classical dishes.
Our activities take many forms:
- The monthly organisation of a meal;
- The meeting of Chefs;
- The exclusive visit of places where contemporary cuisine is created;
- An annual trip in Belgium or abroad on a chosen topic and with a gastronomic and cultural interest;
- The award of the 'Prix Cristal' to the best Chef visited in the current year and of the 'Prix au Chef de l'Avenir' to a young 'Chef of the future';
- The free access to the numerous events around the world initiated by the International Academy of Gastronomy .
On 7 December 1997, King Albert II allowed the Club to add the 'Royal' title to its name. This is the only Belgian gastronomic circle to wear this qualifier:
