Couvert Couvert

Couvert Couvert is one of the most distinctive fine dining restaurants in the Leuven region, located in Heverlee on the Sint-Jansbergsesteenweg. Brothers Laurent and Vincent Folmer, originally from Lorraine in France, trained as pastry chefs at prestigious establishments including L’Espérance in Yonne and Oberweis in Luxembourg before founding their own restaurant over twenty years ago. What sets Couvert Couvert apart is the brothers’ deeply personal creative approach, which expresses itself through inventive combinations and cutting-edge technique. Michelin has recognised the restaurant with one star, while Gault&Millau has awarded four toques for consistent excellence. A typical dish might pair crispy-skinned guinea fowl breast with a warm salad of artichoke hearts, pistachio, vernal grass, and walnut, finished with a suave, sweet sauce. With each course, a specially selected wine is offered from the restaurant’s remarkable and wide-ranging cellar. The serene, softly lit Scandinavian interior creates an atmosphere of quiet elegance, with a peaceful terrace in the garden for warmer months. The restaurant offers private dining options and is a particularly popular destination for corporate events and special occasions. Couvert Couvert remains one of the most sought-after reservations in Flemish Brabant.
