To celebrate the tenth anniversary of Lille-based restaurant Bloempot, Florent Ladeyn is organizing a week of festivities. On the menu: dinners highlighting producers and an exceptional eight-hands!

Ten years is something to celebrate! Florent Ladeyn understands this and has decided to celebrate the anniversary of his Lille restaurant Bloempot in style, with a week of festivities. On the program: five dinners highlighting the producers so dear to his heart, organized from December 5 to 9, 2023."Through these dinners, we hope to create links between people who don't normally meet: customers and producers. I owe my cuisine to my producers. Honouring these men and women who work the land behind the scenes was an obvious choice. This anniversary is also their anniversary", Florent Ladeyn assures us.

5 producers, 5 dinners

As with his other restaurants - L'Auberge du Vert Mont in Boeschepe and Bierbuik in Lille and Béthune - Florent Ladeyn likes to showcase Flemish terroir at Bloempot. The chef-restaurateur, who set up this establishment in a former carpentry workshop hidden away in a small courtyard in Old Lille, is proving it once again with a week of "festivities, from earth to plate".
