OAK
Modern Cuisine, Creative · ★ Michelin
€€€€
Ready for a whirlwind world tour? Marcelo Ballardin’s Italian-Brazilian roots, his globetrotting past and the international cast of the kitchen team are core to the DNA of this eatery. North Sea clams, Asian flavours or wild manioc roots from the Amazon Forest: the menu has clearly been extremely carefully designed and meticulously crafted. Chef Ballardin aims for simplicity, whilst accepting that this goal may entail a certain degree of complexity. He seeks a subtle balance between crisp acidity and velvety comfort. For example, he enhances quickly seared langoustines in a frothy, powerful sa

Michaël Vrijmoed is light years from your run-of-the-mill chef. Committed body and soul, he harnesses his phenomenal creativity and extensive technical know-how to the service of fine food, combining pedigree Gallic techniques with traditional fermentation and exotic influences. His stellar reputation is also due to his unabridged passion for vegetables, which comes to the forefront in his vegetarian Purs menu, as he relentlessly coaxes the best out of each ingredient. Should he get his hands on white truffles, he proudly brings them to your table as he plies you with suggestions. You may be t

Publiek
Modern Cuisine, Seasonal Cuisine · ★ Michelin

Publiek is a one-of-a-kind star establishment and its friendly vibe is pivotal to its loft-inspired, cosy bistro interior and its home-from-home ambience. The mix of designer and vintage details courtesy of artist friends lend it a quirky personalised feel. The bar even features its old beer pump! The team’s enthusiasm is contagious, and the talented chef frequently serves the main course himself. Don’t expect posh, luxury ingredients, because Olly Ceulenaere is a staunch champion of little-known veggies and produce. His intelligent recipes hit the spot every time and he is a past master in th

This grand old edifice exudes a whiff of exoticism that subtly contrasts with the historic character of the Patershol district. The welcoming interior sports high ceilings and works of art, without forgetting a walled courtyard that is bliss in fine weather. The exquisitely plated dishes are packed in generosity and showcase the wide range of flavours of traditional Thai cuisine. The ingredients are fresh and steeped in rich perfumes and aromas with just the right balance of spices.

€€
Urban and exciting, Elders is just the ticket if you fancy sampling modern cuisine in which veggies play the star roles. Tom Pauwelyn reverently respects the seasons, inventing inspired recipes. For example, he exalts cauliflower by preparing it in several ways, including one with an exquisitely subtle Nantua (creamy crayfish) sauce or he celebrates pears with a sabayon of stout beer. Each meal is a treasure trove of discoveries.

Rizoom
Asian Influences, Creative
€€€€
Rizoom blends a design-inspired, post-industrial loft vibe with a cosy feel. Take a seat in the open kitchen or at a beautifully laid table and watch Yves Kerckhoffs wield his magic as he brings his passion for produce to life, invariably courtesy of solid Japanese technique. Sustainability and the seasons guide both the menu and the establishment’s choice of suppliers. You can expect dry-ageing, koji fermentation and a single-minded quest for umami, hence the major role enjoyed by sauces and gravy. For example, brill is wrapped and aged in kombu leaves, before it is sliced into sashimi and th

The hip younger sibling of the starred OAK, DOOR73, has forged its own vibrant personality. A vintage tiled floor adds warmth to the modern interior while the open kitchen adds a buzzy vibe. The Josper oven rolls out skilfully crafted, international and unorthodox dishes to share. The chef embarks us on an intense journey with grilled hispi cabbage coated in a spicy sauce, toasted hazelnuts, chunks of grapefruit and a yoghurt dressing. The velvety pistachio-laced Basque cheesecake is to die for! You can expect a festival of flavours served in a refreshingly unstuffy ambience. Hits all the righ
