Het Cordaat: Contemporary Brasserie Dining in Hasselt

The Kitchen & Cooking Style

Het Cordaat brings its contemporary brasserie concept to the heart of Hasselt. The culinary team draws inspiration from regional suppliers while embracing a distinctly modern local kitchen approach. A Japanese Robata grill anchors the open kitchen, allowing flames to draw out natural sweetness in seasonal vegetables and proteins. This methodology earned a solid Gault&Millau score of twelve for 2026, recognizing how the brigade balances refined techniques with generous sharing plates.

Standout Dishes

Guests frequently return for the roasted cauliflower served with thick yogurt, fresh mint, and warm garam masala. The kitchen also reinterprets classic comfort food through dishes like asparagus carbonara, which layers delicate greens with rich pasta traditions. These plates are designed to be shared across the table, reflecting the flexible nature of modern European cuisine. The menu evolves continuously, so regular visitors always encounter new combinations.

Room & Atmosphere

The dining room sits within the active Corda Campus, where industrial textures meet polished wood and soft lighting. An open pass lets diners watch the brigade coordinate orders during busy service hours. Outside, a wide terrace extends the seating area toward the campus grounds, making summer evenings particularly popular. This environment comfortably accommodates both quick weekday visits and leisurely weekends centered around the same regional cooking standards.
