Plat Préféré grew out of a family tradition of good food and convivial dining and presents itself as a neighbourhood restaurant devoted to memorable culinary moments. The kitchen draws on experiences gained over several years in Belgium and abroad. The team emphasises a correct price–quality relationship, careful respect for the product and seasonal, local sourcing through collaborations such as a partnership with Noord‑Zuid Gistel. It offers changing monthly menus alongside an à la carte selection and has been recognised with 13/20 in Gault&Millau, a Golden Fork in 2018 and a Michelin Bib Gourmand for 2026.
