I am pretty jealous of the people who went to Tomorrowland, not really for the music as I could hear that in my livingroom due to the wind direction and also I’m not really too much into the music they play… or at least not for 3 days in a row. I’m more jealous about the great selection of eateries they had!! Really!! They have really outdone themselves.
Did you know they even had a food inspector from the “Gault & Millau” guide quote every food stand and give it points? Of course there was a lot to give points to like the food stands in the International Street where you could taste Mexican, American, Greek, French, Spanish and (obviously) Belgian food. Or the fresh bakery shop… They also didn’t forget the vegetarians in cooperation with Lombardia.
A reason I almost bought a ticket was the amount of top gastronomy present restaurant Wout Bru (Maison Bru *), Roger Van Damme (Het Gebaar *), Manuel Wouter (SIPS cocktail bar)
The people who I envied the most were the people who got a spot at the secret restaurant!! First of all because having a dinner prepared by two 3 Michelin star awarded chefs Sergio Herman (Oud Sluis) and Jordi Roca (El Celler de Can Roca) and one of the few Michelin awarded “chocolatiers” Dominique Persoone (The Chocolate Line) and secondly to be in the company of yet another 3 Michelin star awarded chef Peter Goossens (Hof Van Cleve)… like food porn for me 🙂 Don’t get me wrong, the hamburgers would have also tasted well, but this is a different level of experience 😉 If only I won or was able to get a place at the secret restaurant…
Maybe next year they should have a special Gastronomical pass that one can try all food @Tomorrowland?
Congrats too the organizational team of Tomorrowland, you really did a hell of a job (also for the non-food part)
Hey,
Thanks for this nice report 🙂
We had a Gastro pass, named ‘Taste of Tomorrowland’, where you could see all 15 special FOOD places to visit. If you did 12 of them, you could be the lucky winner of a 2014 ticket 🙂
Ah, I didn’t know that. Maybe I should look into it for next year’s edition… 😉
The menu and view form maison Bru can be found on http://www.dailybits.be/item/tomorrowland-2013-verslag/ 😉
The best food experience for us, was the steakhouse curated by butcher de laet from Hove. Super meat and really relaxed staff.
