WHEN PASSION BECOMES KNOWLEDGE

FLANDERS CULINARY ARTS CENTRE

Our chefs are among the world's best when it comes to cooking and providing us with a luxurious and magnificent gastronomic feast to indulge in. However, they themselves feel that their management skills could be improved upon. As the first and only higher education institution in Flanders to offer the combination of culinary arts and management, VIVES University of Applied Sciences focusses on bringing a chef's management skills set to a higher standard.

Our mission is to empower chefs by complementing their talent for gastronomy with a solid background in management.

At VIVES we have created a truly inspirational environment where students can grow, learn and create every single day. Through our unique educational approach and thanks to our truly passionate staff, we help students develop towards professional and personal excellence.

Customer Experiences

It was a wonderful experience in a beautiful setting. It was great to see how young people are still driven and passionate about their craft. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent.

Hilde D.

We had a delicious meal and were welcomed and/or approached in a positive and professional manner by all the students.

Annick V.

Delicious, fun, cozy, beautiful setting, good company, somewhat uncertain (very young) but certainly not bad service. A very pleasant experience!
