Brasserie Den Baron

What Brasserie Den Baron does

Brasserie Den Baron is a privately held, single-location brasserie-restaurant located at Eikenlei 60, St-Job-in-'t-Goor, a suburb of Antwerpen, Belgium. The company operates under the name "Brasserie Den Baron," referencing Baron Pierre de Caters, an early Belgian aviation pioneer who established an airfield in Sint-Job in 1907 and became the first Belgian to hold an official pilot's license in 1909. The restaurant was established (as reflected in firmographic data dated 2018) as a casual dining venue offering an à la carte menu with a continuously changing suggestion board, daily-fresh ingredients, and Asian-influenced flavor combinations. The core menu is organized across lunch service (continuous from 12:00, Tuesday through Sunday), dinner service, a Zoete Zonde (sweet treats) menu from 14:00-17:00, a dedicated vegetarian menu, a kids' menu, and a drinks/wine list. Aperitif and cocktail offerings support a broad day-part positioning.

The business model is traditional restaurant retail: dine-in is the primary revenue stream, supplemented by phone-ordered take-away and a separate outdoor bar ("Buitenbar") operating on Thursday through Sunday evenings with seasonal hours. Pricing is unit-based per menu item with a weekly lunch special (two courses) at €34.00 from Tuesday to Friday. Distribution is exclusively physical at the single address, with marketing conducted through a website (brasseriedenbaron.be), Instagram, and Facebook. Customer segments are directly consumer-facing: general diners, business professionals seeking weekday lunches, families with young children (drawn by the outdoor playground), and take-away customers. Ownership is independent, with no parent company, no disclosed funding, and no listed management team beyond the collective "Uw Baron Team" referenced in guest communications. Headcount is listed at approximately 5 employees. The company holds no patents, certifications, or disclosed alliances.
