Who is cooking for us?

The dinner is prepared by De Keukentafel, a culinary farm with a pop up summer restaurant and catering business. Sisters Anna and Jozefien grow their own vegetables to prepare in the kitchen.

With their concept, they want to limit their ecological footprint and have a positive impact on the climate. Apart from organic and local produce, they use circular materials, solar energy and their own water filtering system. They also strive to reduce waste by reusing and composting as much as possible.

In other words, De Keukentafel embodies the Upside Down Festival values, a match made in heaven!

Price

€95 for 5 dinners – to book as a price deal in advance.

€22 for a single meal – to book in advance.

If this sounds expensive compared to what you usually spend on food, please realize that these prices are actually on the lower side for Belgium and for the quality we offer. We have invested to provide an option that is still within budget. If you go to any other place around the site, prices will be higher: a plate usually costs around €20 – 25 in Belgian restaurants, not including the soup, salads, side dishes and toppings that are on the menu above. Also, tap water is included in the price (unfortunately not always the case in Belgium).
