New JRE Member: Chef-owner Tom Vermeiren of Wilford T in Temse, Belgium
On the banks of the Scheldt in Temse, chef Tom Vermeiren has created Wilford T, bringing gastronomy, warm hospitality, and contemporary art together in a listed townhouse. “Exceptional kitchen quality, gastronomy at the highest level, and warm service.” Tom’s cooking puts the product first, working with seasonal ingredients, original combinations, and deep, intense sauces while keeping flavours clear and recognisable. Through its close connection with art platform Wilford X, the restaurant adds another dimension to the experience, creating a distinctive meeting point between cuisine, art, and place.
