Florent Ladeyn's Bloempot celebrates its 10th anniversary, discover the program
To celebrate the tenth anniversary of Lille-based restaurant Bloempot, Florent Ladeyn is organizing a week of festivities. On the menu: dinners highlighting producers and an exceptional eight-hands!
Ten years is something to celebrate! Florent Ladeyn understands this and has decided to celebrate the anniversary of his Lille restaurant Bloempot in style, with a week of festivities. On the program: five dinners highlighting the producers so dear to his heart, organized from December 5 to 9, 2023."Through these dinners, we hope to create links between people who don't normally meet: customers and producers. I owe my cuisine to my producers. Honouring these men and women who work the land behind the scenes was an obvious choice. This anniversary is also their anniversary", Florent Ladeyn assures us.
5 producers, 5 dinners
As with his other restaurants - L'Auberge du Vert Mont in Boeschepe and Bierbuik in Lille and Béthune - Florent Ladeyn likes to showcase Flemish terroir at Bloempot. The chef-restaurateur, who set up this establishment in a former carpentry workshop hidden away in a small courtyard in Old Lille, is proving it once again with a week of "festivities, from earth to plate".
Five dinners will be organized to honor the producers. During the first four evenings, the chef and the Bloempot team will welcome two producers each time to share their know-how and values:
- Tuesday, December 5 : Grégory Delassus from Ferme du Beau Pays, a breeder in Borre in Flanders; Domaine Lestignac represented by Camille Marquet from the winery in Sigoulès in the Dordogne.
- Wednesday, December 6: Julien Dequidt and maison Flandre pigeonneau, breeder of meat pigeons in Steenvoorde; Stéphanie Vanderhaeghe and ferme de Duneleet, supplier of seeds and flour in Leffrinckoucke; Domaine Milan represented by Théophile Milan, winery in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.
- Thursday December 7 : Charles-Henry Terrier of Au Fil du Couteau butchery in Méteren; Domaine du Sot de l'Ange represented by Quentin Bourse in Azay-le-Rideau, Loire.
- Friday December 8: Dries Delanote et le monde des mille couleurs, market gardener in Ypres and Bertrand Menu, market gardener in Verlinghem; Brasserie Cantillon in Anderlecht (Belgium) and Distillerie Persyn in Houlle.
To round things off in style, on Saturday, December 9, 2023, an eight-hand dinner will be organized, bringing together the chefs from the differentFlorent Ladeyn's restaurants, with Florence Grave (chef at Le Bloempot), Antoine Dodergnies (chef at Auberge du Vert Mont) and Clément Dubrulle (first chef at Le Bloempot and chef at L'Atelier in Boeschepe).
