Event Venue

GastArt Salon offers a new event venue in and around Turnhout. Ideal for intimate private events. The building itself is a decades-old gastronomic venue that has been renovated, while the original setting has been enriched with a new artistic scene. This is reflected in the name: GastArt Salon is the place where gastronomy meets fine art.

EVENT LOCATION

The Salon

The GastArt Salon is not a traditional restaurant, but a social space where our guests can organise their events: weddings, family parties or corporate events in an authentic art gallery atmosphere. Everything is possible!

Ideal for you if you are looking for a pleasant, elegantly furnished but small, intimate space for your events. A special feature of the place is the ever-changing selection of fine art.

The GastArt Salon has a function room and garden for up to 40 people. In good weather the garden is available for aperitifs, receptions or even the whole party.

Catering concept

GastArt's speciality is art-inspired "small plate" dishes, where food is served in small portions. The experience is for those who are happy to share a bite and know that small really does make a difference - it's a great way to eat! What's more, these small portions go beyond the meal to offer a culinary programme in its own right, with guest-centred service, unusual flavour combinations, exciting textures, colours, aromas and wines to match the food.

GastArt Salon's kitchen offers a full four-course restaurant menu with 6 small portions, including hot and cold dishes from the world of Mediterranean cuisine. Depending on the nature of the event, you can choose between a hot and cold buffet, a strolling dinner, a dinner table, a reception, etc. Not only is the food prepared with the utmost care and freshness by the GastArt Salon's chef, but in line with the Best Agers kitchen concept, GastArt Salon serves only fresh and easily digestible food, free from industrial food and semi-finished products.

Family and business events

The GastArt Salon is the ideal choice for all those occasions when our private guests are preparing for an important meeting or family celebration (birthday, wedding, christening, first communion, etc.) and find that the available space is more limited than necessary.

But the same applies to our business guests preparing for an in-house seminar, internal training, product launch or team building event, where it turns out that the available venue cannot be expanded or is less conducive to the success of the event

Then please contact the GastArt management with confidence! All necessary infrastructure is available on site! For example WIFI, projectors, screens, parking spaces, etc.
