€€€€Modern French
Ideal for a romantic date night, this charming farmstead is the quintessence of poised and intimate and only offers tables for two (but there is a private room that caters to groups). Working hand in hand, Angélique manages the front-of-house while Tim runs the kitchen, in a bid to provide a personalised experience. Luxury ingredients enjoy the leading role on the menu and the chef might sign a high-flying combination of oysters and seaweed, caviar and a distinctive beurre blanc made out of curds. He has a soft spot for fresh, tangy notes, illustrated by the subtle sauce vierge that contrasts
€€Classic Cuisine
Fou du Goût manages to be both chic and cosy and the conservatory is definitely the best spot in the house. Thomas Cocquyt has a penchant for giving familiar flavours an exotic twist – chicken cooked in a spicy masala sauce, or pan-fried plaice with smoked eel and a beurre blanc infused with a yuzu gel for a tangy citrus burst. But you will also find sole meunière with fresh fries and venison in Arlequin sauce. The chef is a past master in the art of balancing bold flavours with a touch of intrigue. A firm favourite in the Meetjesland region!
