Benoit en Bernard Dewitte

★ Michelin€€€€Modern French

Tranquillity is the watchword of Benoit and Bernard Dewitte. The relaxed zen vibe of their villa sports a fun blend of trendy rustic and soothing pastel tones while a delicious summer holiday buzz sets the scene in the exquisite garden. This fantastic setting provides the perfect foil for chef Benoit’s pared-back culinary style as he effortlessly deploys the light touch that has become his signature. He frequently calls upon veggies and spices to create harmonies of fascinating delicacy. Nothing leaves the kitchen that hasn’t been endlessly pondered and puzzled over. For example, he may pair j

The FOX

Bib Gourmand€€Sharing, Seasonal Cuisine

Both funky and cosy, The FOX makes no secret of its affinity with Los Angeles. The mood is accordingly buzzy and casual, just like the concept because it operates without reservations and the à la carte lineup features dishes to share. Salmon trout marinated in sanbaizu vinegar or tartare of beef seasoned with parsley and oyster, flanked by an oyster and furikake mayo and served on soft yet crunchy brioche bread… The stage is set for creative, yet legible food bursting with hearty, wholesome flavours. Your main dilemma will be choosing and then sharing these culinary delicacies! We recommend a

Bleuet

€€€Seasonal Cuisine

Time seems to have stopped still at Bleuet, which is confirmed by the view over the rolling hillsides of the Flemish Ardennes from the exquisite terrace and the cosy interior of this cosy cottage. Pieter-Jan is in the kitchen, while Yoran makes sure the dining room never gets too crowded to ensure optimum quality. Yoran can be relied upon to open a bottle of wine for you to taste, which is something of a rarity these days. The chef plays with familiar flavours and international accents, as his seabass fillets in a miso and champagne sauce with a risotto of wheat and crunchy veg demonstrates. F

Plein 25

€€€Seasonal Cuisine, French

Works of art line the walls of Neil Dieryckx-Visschers’ cheerful establishment, but the chef’s true artistry lies in his vibrant cooking. Dieryckx-Visschers sensitively reinterprets time-honoured family favourites and allows the ingredients to shout their name, albeit with the odd Asian tang. Examples include lamb from the Vandewalle butcher’s, served rare with a scrumptious layer of fat, while crisp green asparagus, braised wild garlic, black garlic cream, sautéed morels and a punchy gravy complete the feast. Both the set menu and the à la carte lineup sing an ode to first-class produce. What
