Writing Her Own Story
Chef Davine Croughs started her culinary journey in the very building where Hēdonē now stands, and after years in top kitchens it was time to make it personal. Her experience at Zilte and Ralf Berendsen shows in her precision, but her ambition here is different: create the kind of night she and Nicholas would love themselves. Seasonal ingredients and pure flavours are the base, then she adds influences from anywhere that excites her, as long as it tastes right and feels true.
“We’re not trying to copy the big star chefs. We want to be ourselves and cook what we truly love.”
Restaurant Hēdonē
Hēdonē in Tongeren-Borgloon is the small-scale restaurant of Davine Croughs and Nicholas Neve, built around one idea: pure enjoyment. The name comes from the ancient Greek goddess of pleasure, and that shows in the way they host. Davine cooks with seasonal ingredients and clean flavours, but she is not afraid to mix influences, from Indian street food bites to perfectly cooked cod. Nicholas welcomes you like a friend and guides you through a menu that’s meant to feel refined, personal and genuinely relaxed.
