Taratata: delicious no-nonsense gastronomy.
Restaurant Taratata has been a staple culinary destination in Hasselt for years. Five years ago, Taratata moved from the city center to Blauwe Boulevard on the Kempische Kaai. The new location offers more comfort, parking facilities, and a beautiful terrace. The interior combines rough walls with a modern decor. Sleek tables, a wooden floor, and mood lighting create the perfect atmosphere. You quickly feel at home here and enjoy the original dishes and efficient service.
After earning their stripes for 20 years, Dominique & Christophe are heading towards the Spanish sun to open their B&B. But no worries! Taratata is in very familiar hands. Tom Bollen & Nele Valkeners, the right and left hands of the former owners, are taking over Taratata. 2021 promises to be an exciting year!
Tom is at the helm in the kitchen and has chosen an original culinary concept. His cooking style is based on flavors from all over the world, brought together with a healthy dose of creativity. Guests can enjoy an attractively priced lunch or come in the evening for a more elaborate dinner of 3 courses (45€), 4 courses (57€), 5 courses (67€), or even 6 courses (77€). The chef certainly doesn’t lack creativity! For example, he combines Jerusalem artichoke with pistachio and avocado (veggie), serves a delicious piece of monkfish with artichoke and hollandaise sauce, or for meat lovers, veal with eggplant and chickpeas. A dessert with berries, anise, and sorrel completes the experience. Partner Nele brings a wide smile to all her guests. Her empathetic spontaneity and professional approach are unique. A must-try is also the delicious homemade ginger lemonade: a spicy and refreshing drink that you can try on-site or purchase in a bottle to take home.
Taratata is all about enjoying with a big T!
