At We’re Smart, we are always particularly pleased to discover young talents and new restaurants that, from day one, give guests the choice between a classic menu and a pure plant menu. Nearly 50% of today’s diners identify as flexitarian and are increasingly open to discovering high-level pure plant gastronomy—provided it is approached with the same creativity, finesse, and culinary ambition.
At Est in Heverlee, they can be justifiably proud of their menu “Pure.” This refined sequence of vegetable-driven dishes highlights the richness and versatility of seasonal produce, creating a harmonious and satisfying experience for every guest at the table—including dedicated meat lovers. The cuisine proves that vegetables can take center stage with elegance, depth, and gastronomic sophistication.
Laurence De Smet and Abel Demeestere form an inspiring duo who clearly understand the direction in which contemporary gastronomy is evolving. Their vision, craftsmanship, and respect for ingredients come together beautifully in this elegant restaurant, where every detail contributes to a coherent and memorable experience. The four Radishes are therefore more than deserved.
