The story
Standing on the Gelatineboulevard, Trentanove brings a straightforward Italian kitchen to Hasselt. The team is led by Italian chefs who prepare every plate using fresh ingredients and pure flavors. Rather than chasing complexity, they build their menu around quality produce that speaks for itself. This approach earned them a Gault&Millau score of thirteen, which praises the contemporary and accessible setting alongside honest cooking.
Guests can choose between a fixed seasonal list or a daily fresh lunch menu that changes according to market availability. The chef reveals these selections on the spot, ensuring every course reflects current produce. A complete lunch service including coffee or tea runs at thirty-four euros. This flexible structure keeps the Italian cooking style light, practical, and consistently fresh.
The dining area sits comfortably within Quartier Bleu, designed for easy conversation and shared plates. Tables fill quickly during weekday lunches and weekend dinners when families gather to exchange stories. The beverage program complements this relaxed pace with a curated selection of Italian wines stretching from the Alps to Sicily. Crisp whites and fuller reds match each course without overwhelming the palate.
