Career
Starting his professional journey in 1953 as an apprentice, Souvereyns developed his skills in both Brussels and Paris. Between 1961 and 1979, he established multiple ventures around Hasselt, including a catering business located on Grote Markt and several dining establishments such as Salons Van Dijck in Kermt, Sir Anthony Van Dyck in Antwerp, and Clou Doré in Liège, all of which he divested in 1979. In 1983, he purchased the Scholteshof farm situated in Stevoort and transformed it into a restaurant that was pioneering in its adoption of the farm-to-table philosophy. After parting with Scholteshof in the early 2000s, he took on the role of Culinary Director at Flanders Hotel Holding beginning in 2003.
