Vous lé Vous

In the rural village of Wimmertingen, about fifteen minutes from the centre of Hasselt, lies Vous lé Vous: a carefully restored farmhouse dating from 1890 that is now a boutique hotel with eight rooms. Here, Limburg natives Annelies and Giovani Oosters welcome their guests. Many people know Giovani as a TV chef. He learned his craft at top restaurants such as Hof van Cleve and Clos Saint-Denis. He earned a Michelin star, but deliberately handed it back in 2015 to follow his own path. That choice says a lot about Vous lé Vous. Prestige and bustle are not the goal here. What matters is rural tranquillity, hospitality and honest, thoughtful cooking. Guests who stay start their day with a carefully prepared breakfast and can leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind. What makes Vous lé Vous unique is a kitchen that starts in its own vegetable garden. Vegetables and herbs are not an afterthought here; they are the heart of the plate. Annelies and Giovani work with local produce from Belgian Limburg and cook healthy, seasonal food. Giovani is also training in ecological gardening, so the garden will play an even bigger role in the future. Once a month, Giovani opens the kitchen to everyone with the Sunday’s Sharing Concept, an extensive lunch made for sharing. After an appetiser, a series of small starters for two arrive at the table one after another, at a relaxed pace. Next comes a soup, often the house classic: lobster cappuccino. The main course is served with side dishes to share, and the meal ends with dessert and coffee with sweet treats. Vous lé Vous also goes all out on special occasions. On Valentine’s Day, for example, they serve a festive five-course menu, all-inclusive. Whether you come for lunch with friends or family, a romantic weekend away or simply a place to unwind, at Vous lé Vous the guest comes first, in a place where the produce, the garden and the hospitality set the tone.
