Locally Produced Food Restaurant | BOLLEZEELE
Authentic and generous cuisine. Using local and seasonal products, Pauze's cuisine gives pride of place to its territory, French Flanders.
This
is not an "estaminet" (traditional Flemish café)! Here you will find
elaborate dishes in which local products have their place in recipes of
our French gastronomy, and are highlighted by a refined presentation,
sometimes in dishes to share like family meals.
Simple
local products are magnified, the short menu reveals the diversity of
the territory's resources, and the attentive service restores the
nobility of the French art of living, or rather, the Flemish!
Everything
is carefully thought out to enjoy a meal in a fully eco-responsible
way! Authenticity, terroir, and passion. In our cuisine, each plate
tells a story. The story of a carefully selected product, from committed
local producers, grown with respect and transformed with passion. Local
products rooted in the territory guarantee incomparable freshness, but
also support those who make our terroir live.
Located
in the heart of French Flanders, between Dunkirk and Saint-Omer, the
Hostellerie Saint-Louis is a place steeped in history. Dating from the
end of the 18th century, this manor, owned by the Vandekerkhove family, a
wealthy family of the region, was bequeathed to their only child,
Louis. Seeing himself without an heir, Louis Vandekenrkove decided to
give a new purpose to this large family home by transforming it into a
secular retirement home in the 1850s, before handing it over to the
commune upon his death.
For
many years, this historic manor of Bollezeele welcomed many residents
who came to enjoy their retirement peacefully. In 1970, a new life began
for this remarkable building, renamed the Hostellerie Saint-Louis,
which became a hotel-restaurant under the aegis of the Dubreucq family,
who ran the place for 50 years, under the sign of tradition.
2025
will be marked by the takeover of this place by Emilie and Michel
Bouchaert, both passionate about hospitality and determined to add
touches of modernity to this place steeped in history to make it a
beautiful family home open to all, where one can eat, sleep, celebrate
with generosity, spend quality time with loved ones, meet for pleasure
or for business, with the promise of a memorable service and customer
experience.
