Our story

From Konya to Wetteren

Özkan Usta was born and raised in Konya, a city with a rich food culture and a long tradition of handmade pide.

42 is Konya's code on every Turkish number plate. The name Resto 42 is a tribute to that city and to his roots. After ten years in Belgian kitchens, Özkan Usta dreamed of bringing those flavours and that hospitality to Wetteren. The doors opened on 2 April 2026.

Here you see everything happen: the grill along the side, the wood-fired oven at the back. Fresh ingredients, cooked with love for the craft. In Turkish, usta means master or chef.

Özkan Usta wants to introduce Wetteren to real Turkish cooking. His great passion is pide, the craft Konya is famous for: more than twenty kinds come out of his wood-fired oven, from the classic Mevlana to the Special Wetteren. “My goal is to offer authentic Turkish flavours that everyone can enjoy.”
