After studying at Ath Catering School, then working together (and becoming brothers-in-law), for the last few years Maxence Bouralha and Charles-Maxime Legrand have been business partners and are going from strength to strength at Quai N°4. Their fashionable eatery, which sports a tasteful green and gold colour scheme, attracts a fine dining crowd who flocks here to sample subtle recipes, founded on the chefs’ experience honed in high-flying establishments. They have a knack for striking the right balance between classicism and creativity. For example, they may flank calf’s sweetbread cooked i

Quai n°4 is recognized for modern cuisine, with many guests praising the high quality of ingredients, creative dishes, and professional wine pairings. However, experiences vary significantly. Negative feedback highlights unfriendly service, lack of transparency regarding mandatory menus, and inconsistent meal pacing. The atmosphere is described as sober, with some noting issues with noise levels and kitchen lighting. While the overall rating remains high, recent comments suggest declining consistency in food quality and value for money. Diners seeking exceptional culinary discoveries may enjoy the food, but those prioritizing attentive service, a quiet ambiance, or flexible dining options might find the experience underwhelming.
Suitable for diners prioritizing refined modern cuisine over consistent service.

The bright and airy orangery at Moulbaix Castle presents itself as a tasteful blend of the old and the new. The terrace overlooking the vines, the castle and the windmill in the distance are simply idyllic! Maxence Bouralha and Charles-Maxime Legrand, the chef duo behind Quai no. 4, join forces with Philippe Lartigue to create meticulously prepared hearty French brasserie classics. Think sautéed mushrooms with finely chopped shallot topped with an indulgent potato emulsion, an œuf parfait (slow-cooked egg) that really lives up to its name, as well a touch of orange to provide a bright and zest

Located in Leuze-en-Hainaut, L'Orangerie de Moulbaix is praised for its picturesque setting, surrounded by rose gardens and vineyards. Reviewers frequently highlight the elegant decor, welcoming atmosphere, and the appeal of the open kitchen. While some guests commend the freshness of ingredients and refined presentation, others report inconsistent food quality, citing issues such as overcooked dishes or lack of flavor. Service experiences vary significantly; although many appreciate the friendly staff, complaints regarding inexperienced personnel, slow response times, and occasional unprofessionalism are common. The ambiance is consistently rated highly, but the culinary execution and service reliability remain points of contention among visitors.
Suitable for diners prioritizing ambiance and setting, though expectations for consistent food quality and service should be managed.

Christine and Pascal couldn’t have found a better name for their establishment. Everything from the warm greeting and service to the wholesome, rustic fare smacks of genuine sincerity. Chef Pascal forgoes fancy frills in favour of generous dishes piled high with top-notch familiar ingredients. He may underscore the full flavour of Iberico ham with a gutsy gravy, while the salty tang of clams is paired with a velvety pumpkin purée and a spicy cream of piquillo pimentos. A market-fresh menu that hits the spot every time – the epitome of a country village eatery!
