Create by Guido Braeken

Hotel Van Oys has transformed Oost Castle into the epitome of luxury. Housed in what was once the barn of this historical building, Create immerses you in elegance with a natural touch. Old meets new in the dining space, which features a striking tree truck across the ceiling. Every detail is carefully considered, from the valet's warm welcome to the attentive service at the table.Guido Braeken creates his distinctive culinary world with outstanding ingredients, refined, time-honoured techniques and subtle exotic nuances. His distinctively expressive cooking is technically flawless and bursting with vitality. The fact that the chef is a master of sauces becomes clear in creations such as a tarragon hollandaise or an Ibérico pork bouillon enriched with basil oil, both of which lend the dry-aged turbot remarkable intensity and roundness. Langoustine dishes – a speciality of his – are also not to be missed: One highlight is a magnificent tail, cooked to perfection on the Japanese barbecue, finished with lime zest and finger lime compote, and accompanied by glazed aubergine, vin jaune hollandaise and a winter truffle and shiro kombu dressing that adds exceptional depth. A rush of exquisitely harmonious flavours awaits you at Create.
