De Toekomst van Amaranth
IMMORTAL FLOWER
ETERNALLY BLOOMING
UNDECAYING
After four years of culinary creativity, we’ll be taking a culinary year of reflection in 2026. We want to make space for our young family, new inspiration, and a deeper focus on our kitchen.
The restaurant will continue under the name Amaranth and reopen after the summer of 2026 with a renewed concept — more intimate, more flavourful, and with the kitchen as its beating heart.
Until 18 December 2025, we’re happy to welcome you as you know Amaranth today. Gift vouchers remain valid, but no new ones will be sold.
In the meantime, we’ll stay active with open training programmes, our third book, the redesign of our garden, and festive takeaway boxes for the holiday season.
Thank you for being part of our story — your support means the world to us.

With warm regards,
Pieter-Jan, Carmen & the Amaranth team
Welcome to Amaranth
Amaranth is a project of vegan chef Pieter-Jan Lint and his partner Carmen Duytschaever. Together they converted an old villa full of character into a warm, cosy and contemporary restaurant.
​
Amaranth is the first gastronomic vegan restaurant in Flanders and wants to set the pace for new possibilities within the culinary landscape.

CO-CREATING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE​
USING THE LANGUAGE OF COOKING
AND ORGANIC PLANT-BASED FOOD
​
​
Cooking is a form of expression, a language.
It touches all our senses.
It tastes, sounds, smells, feels and is perceived.
It has the power to nourish and to stimulate.
A dish prepared with passion, knowledge, respect and the purest of ingredients speaks the story of the heart. It can become an utterance of everything that is spoken in silence.
We plant seeds,
with the intention that they may spread.
We look forward to cooking for you.
​
See you soon,
Carmen & Pieter-Jan
