Meet
the chef & the host
Pazzo’s kitchen welcomes a new face in Chef Tim Meuleneire, an accomplished culinary personality with an impressive track record. His career has taken him to renowned establishments including Villa Belrose, Le Louis XV in Monte Carlo, De Koopvaardij, Feu d’Or and FranQ. He was named Best Young Chef of Flanders, won the prestigious Prosper Montagné competition and was appointed Ambassador of Flemish Culinary Heritage in 2025.
With his refined style, Tim brings a cuisine to Pazzo that strikes an elegant balance between tradition and innovation. His Franco-Belgian signature is enhanced by international finesse, with outstanding ingredients, seasonality and pure flavours taking centre stage.
Pazzo thus remains a warm and welcoming place where gastronomy and personality go hand in hand: a restaurant that stays true to its roots while enthusiastically embarking on a new chapter.
Host and owner Tom d’Hooghe shares the helm and has been the familiar face of Pazzo for many years. As a wine connoisseur, he selects an extensive range of wines and carefully pairs them with the dishes from the kitchen. This perfect combination makes Pazzo a true wine restaurant.
