Vuurkeuken in een serre.
Gelegen in een oxiderode serre op het dorpsplein van Kachtem, is Vonk de plek waar de voedselketen begint én eindigt. Groenten worden er niet geteeld, maar wel geëerd in de eigentijdse vuurkeuken van chef Bart Hoornaert. Streekgebonden seizoensproducten worden er gebakken, gegrild en gegaard in de houtskooloven en verwerkt in gerechten die tegelijk verfijnd en nonchalant, herkenbaar en verrassend zijn.
Vonk is ook respect voor traditie, terroir en je roots. Zo werd de nieuwe serre tegen de flanken van het oude café van de familie Hoornaert gebouwd. Het eeuwenoude gebouw heeft een historische gevel die volledig in ere werd hersteld. In dat gedeelte een tafeltje reserveren, betekent lunchen of dineren in een sfeer van geborgenheid en de gastvrijheid die de geschiedenis van de horecafamilie typeert.
Fire kitchen in a greenhouse
Located in an oxide-red greenhouse on the village square of Kachtem, Vonk is where the food chain begins and ends. Vegetables are not grown there, but are honoured in the contemporary fire kitchen of chef Bart Hoornaert. Regional seasonal products are baked, grilled and cooked in the charcoal oven and integrated in dishes that are both refined and nonchalant, recognisable and surprising at the same time.
Vonk also stands for respect for tradition, terroir and your roots. Therefore, the new greenhouse was built against the sidewalls of the old café of the Hoornaert family. The centuries-old building has a historic façade that has been fully restored to its former glory. Booking a table in that area means having lunch or dinner in an atmosphere of security and hospitality that typifies the history of the hospitality family.
