Bar Bulot: Nieuwe Brasserie Opent in Cadzand
Bar Bulot has officially opened its doors in Cadzand at the Strandhotel Cadzand, according to the announcement. This brasserie concept, led by starred chef Gert De Mangeleer and host-entrepreneur Joachim Boudens, brings a refined yet accessible culinary experience to the Dutch coast with views of the Zeeuwse dunes.
Why did Bar Bulot expand to the Dutch coast?
The Hertog Jan Restaurant Group chose Cadzand following the success of previous locations in Brugge and Antwerpen. The concept originated as a temporary pop-up before evolving into a permanent element of the Belgian culinary landscape.

The group aims to translate its signature timeless brasserie atmosphere to the coast. The experience focuses on a combination of product-driven cuisine, attentive service, and curated music for long lunches or dinners.
How does the new venue integrate with the Strandhotel Cadzand?
The opening provides a culinary reinforcement for the Strandhotel Cadzand. The hotel features 71 rooms and suites designed by Studio Piet Boon and offers panoramic sea views and wellness facilities.
Located within walking distance of the sea, Bar Bulot aligns with the hotel’s existing focus on elegance and hospitality. Guests can now access the brasserie for both lunch and dinner services.
What happens next for the Hertog Jan Restaurant Group?
The group is likely to further expand its presence at the hotel. A second location of LESS Eatery is scheduled to open in the Strandhotel Cadzand later this year.
This development could expand the “culinary universe” created by De Mangeleer and Boudens. By adding another concept, the group may strengthen its hold on the Noordzee region by balancing different levels of refinement and accessibility.
