Michelin-Starred Chef – Hof van Cleve **

Taste perfection. Crafted by a Michelin-starred chef.

Experience a day where world-class cycling meets world-class gastronomy.
Your VIP journey begins in the heart of the E3 Saxo Classic, surrounded by the buzz of the riders, the anticipation of the crowd, and the welcoming atmosphere of the Saxo VIP Lounge. Enjoy a refined breakfast prepared by Jeroen Meus, meet the stars of the peloton, and witness the team presentations up close before the race begins.

As the riders set off, champagne in hand, you’ll feel the thrill of the start from the best view in the arena — then it’s time for the next stage of your experience. Step aboard your VIP coach and head to the legendary three-Michelin-star restaurant Hof van Cleve in Kruisem. There, Floris Van Der Veken welcomes you for an exclusive E3 menu that captures the essence of Belgian culinary excellence. While the race unfolds on live screens, indulge in dishes that are as refined and inspiring as the competition itself.

Later, return to the Saxo VIP Lounge to witness the grand finale of the race. Toast the champions with a glass of champagne and conclude your day with a walking dinner and live cooking by Jeroen Meus — the perfect finish to an unforgettable VIP experience.
