2025 / 2026 · Grote Markt, Sint-Truiden
Flavours of the old days
The cellar under Volù, three courses the way a grandmother would cook them, and a table that only emptied once the story was finished.
Beneath the market square of Sint-Truiden lies the vaulted cellar of Volù: brick, low arches and not a window to remind you of the time. Exactly the place for a winter evening that does not have to hurry.
The idea was simple: cook the way people used to cook. Three courses the way a grandmother would make them — dishes that spend hours on the stove and that nobody makes at home any more because nobody takes that long. A winter aperitif on arrival, then one long table under the vaults.
This is the edition where the shape we still use clicked into place: not a plate each, but everything in the middle, and an evening that lasts as long as it lasts.
