THE KITCHEN

Fine dining

In the Great Beguinage of Leuven, a centuries-old historical site, you can enjoy a unique culinary experience at the Cum Laude restaurant. If the weather’s nice, gourmets can enjoy their meal on our beautiful terrace!

The cuisine is a combination of traditional haute cuisine, together with ingenuity and creativity, and personal experiences as chefs. Freshness, seasonal products, and interesting flavors play an important role.

Cum Laude is open from Monday to Wednesday for lunch and from Monday to Friday for dinner. Our restaurants welcomes groups of maximum 8 persons. From 6 persons, the entire group is requested to order the same menu.
