In the vibrant Turnova district, hidden in the charming Bloemekensgang, shines Restaurant Bink. A side project by Alex Verhoeven (Restaurant Hert*), it is housed in the former Brepols printing press building, exuding a modern, industrial, yet informal atmosphere. The original wooden floors and characteristic arches bear witness to the building’s rich history.
From the restaurant, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the open kitchen, led by Chef Lars Block. Block is known for his pure cooking style, allowing the essence of each ingredient to shine. He masterfully integrates international flavors, resulting in surprising and refined dishes.
On the menu, you’ll find a varied à la carte selection with a choice of appetizers and main courses. Additionally, there’s a maturation cabinet filled with high-quality, aged beef—a true treat for meat lovers. Chef Block also offers a well-balanced 3-, 4-, or 5-course menu. Optionally, you can choose an all-inclusive package with paired wines, water, and coffee.
Whether you’re simply looking for a cozy spot to enjoy honest food, a quick lunch, or an elaborate dinner, Restaurant Bink has something for everyone. Let yourself be surprised by the harmonious blend of history, modernity, and gastronomy in this unique restaurant, located in the heart of Turnhout.
