Restaurant in Ledeberg, Belgium
Serious modern cuisine, no Michelin markup.
Talloor d'Or is a Michelin Plate-recognised modern cuisine restaurant in Ledeberg, Ghent, earning consecutive Plate awards in 2024 and 2025 alongside a 4.9 Google rating from over 200 diners. At €€€, it delivers a tasting menu experience well below the price of the starred houses in the region, with an intimate neighbourhood room and easy booking — a strong call for a special occasion dinner.
Talloor d'Or is the right call for food-focused diners who want a serious modern cuisine experience in Ghent without paying the €€€€ premium that Belgium's most decorated restaurants now demand. If you're planning a special dinner — an anniversary, a birthday, or a deliberate food trip through Flanders , this is where a Michelin Plate rating (awarded consecutively in 2024 and 2025) signals kitchen intent without the booking stress of a starred house. It sits at Ledebergplein 20 in Ledeberg, a residential square just southeast of central Ghent, which means the atmosphere is quieter and more neighbourhood-focused than the tourist-heavy dining rooms closer to the Graslei.
Ledeberg's residential scale shapes the room at Talloor d'Or. The address , a neighbourhood square in a working part of Ghent , sets expectations correctly: this is not a grand dining hall or a hotel restaurant with vaulted ceilings. The spatial register here is intimate. That intimacy is a feature rather than a compromise. For a tasting menu format, a tighter room keeps the pace of service close and the sequence of courses easier to manage. Diners at smaller tables feel the progression of a menu as a composed experience rather than an event staged at a distance. If you are the kind of eater who notices the rhythm between courses, the way a room is sized matters, and Talloor d'Or's neighbourhood footprint supports that kind of attentive dining more than a large, busy city-centre operation would.
A consecutive Michelin Plate in both 2024 and 2025 tells you something specific: the kitchen is cooking at a level the Guide considers worth noting, which in practical terms means technical execution is consistent and the menu has a defined point of view. For a €€€ price point, that credential is meaningful. In Belgium's fine dining tier, the gap between a Plate and a Star is real, but it is also a gap that works in the diner's favour here , you are getting a kitchen that has passed Michelin's quality threshold without paying the full premium that a starred venue commands.
The cuisine classification is Modern Cuisine, which in the Belgian context typically means a menu architecture built around local and seasonal produce, with technique-led courses that move from lighter preparations toward richer, more structured plates. This is the format where Talloor d'Or is making its argument. The progression of a tasting menu , the way a kitchen sequences textures, temperatures, and intensities across a meal , is where a restaurant at this level shows its ambition. Two consecutive Michelin Plate recognitions suggest that progression is coherent and deliberately constructed, not accidental. For a food-focused traveller who has already done the starred circuit in Ghent and Bruges, this is a credible next step rather than a fallback option. For a first-time visitor to Belgian fine dining at this price tier, it is a lower-risk entry point than committing to a €€€€ house without knowing the format.
For broader context on what this style of modern Flemish tasting menu looks and feels like, Vrijmoed in Gent and Boury in Roeselare represent the starred tier of the same regional tradition , useful reference points if you're calibrating expectations. Further afield, Hof van Cleve in Kruishoutem and Zilte in Antwerp show where the ceiling of Belgian modern cuisine currently sits.
A 4.9 rating across 226 Google reviews is a statistically reliable signal. At that review volume, a 4.9 is not the result of a small sample of enthusiastic regulars , it reflects a kitchen and a front-of-house operation that consistently meets or exceeds what diners expect at this price point. That consistency matters more than any single glowing review.
Booking here is rated Easy. Unlike many Michelin-recognised venues in Belgium that require planning weeks or months in advance, Talloor d'Or does not carry the same reservation pressure as a starred restaurant. That said, for a special occasion dinner on a Friday or Saturday evening, booking at least one to two weeks ahead is sensible , neighbourhood restaurants with strong reputations fill their leading sittings faster than their online availability sometimes suggests. For a midweek dinner, shorter notice is likely workable. Reservations: book direct via the venue; no third-party booking platform is listed in current data, so contact the restaurant directly. Budget: €€€ , expect a tasting menu price in the range typical of this tier in the Belgian market, meaningfully below the €€€€ starred-house bracket. Dress: no formal dress code is listed; smart casual is the appropriate register for a modern cuisine room of this calibre. Location: Ledebergplein 20, 9050 Gent , Ledeberg is accessible from central Ghent by tram or a short taxi ride.

Spanish-leaning options nearby include Taberna Bask. For a contrasting style of Belgian fine dining, Bozar Restaurant in Brussels and d'Eugénie à Emilie in Baudour are worth considering. Internationally, Frantzén in Stockholm and Maison Lameloise in Chagny represent the tasting menu format at a higher tier if you're benchmarking. Also worth noting in the broader Belgian landscape: Willem Hiele in Oudenburg, Ralf Berendsen in Neerharen, La Durée in Izegem, and Cuchara in Lommel.

Side-by-side comparison to help you decide where to book.
Go in knowing this is a Michelin Plate-recognised kitchen (consecutive years, 2024 and 2025) operating at €€€ in a residential Ghent neighbourhood square, not a city-centre showroom. The Google score — 4.9 across 226 reviews — signals consistent delivery rather than a one-off occasion. First-timers should expect a food-forward experience without the formal ceremony that comes with higher price brackets.
Booking is rated Easy, which puts Talloor d'Or in a different category from most Michelin-recognised venues in Belgium that require weeks of lead time. That said, 'easy' doesn't mean last-minute for weekend tables — aim for a few days to a week in advance to have options. Weeknight tables are the most available.
Specific dietary accommodation policies are not documented in available venue data. For any restriction beyond standard preferences, check the venue's official channels before booking — this is standard practice at modern cuisine restaurants operating at €€€ with structured menus, and there is no reason to assume otherwise here.
Ledeberg itself has a limited fine dining footprint, so alternatives are effectively in broader Ghent. Vrijmoed is the closest comparable in format and ambition, though it sits at a higher price point. If you want a neighbourhood-scale experience at €€€ with Michelin recognition, Talloor d'Or has few direct local rivals — the alternatives in Ghent proper tend to cost more or offer a different format.
At €€€ with back-to-back Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 and 2025, the value case is solid. The Michelin Plate signals cooking the Guide considers worth noting without awarding a star — meaning you're getting kitchen-level seriousness without star-level pricing. If a structured modern cuisine menu is your format, this is a genuinely well-priced option for Ghent.
Yes, with one qualifier: this is a neighbourhood restaurant in Ledeberg, not a grand-room destination. If the occasion calls for serious food in a lower-key setting — anniversary dinner, birthday for someone who cares about cooking — Talloor d'Or at €€€ with Michelin Plate credentials delivers. For a more theatrical dining room, look at Comme chez Soi or Boury instead.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
