Humus x Hortense

A story being told

In Brussels, Humus x Hortense shows how sustainability shapes both cuisine and mindset. Nicolas Decloedt and Caroline Baerten work through a creative triangle where each ingredient is used across dishes and drinks. Guided by close dialogue with farmers, the small team transforms every delivery into inspiration. Organic and biodynamic wines mirror the philosophy, while a four-day work week and shared responsibility keep creativity rooted in collaboration and respect.
