€€€Modern French
The industrial sobriety of Wilford T is underscored by the artwork in the adjoining Wilford X exhibition gallery. Meals are served in an arty ambience steeped in serenity, which provides the perfect foil to a banquet of unadulterated purity. Chef Vermeiren, who doesn’t hesitate to add the finishing touch right in front of diners, is committed to highlighting the ingredient with unusual combinations, that are sometimes complex, but always flavoursome. Should you order venison, for example, it is flanked by an intense spicy sauce and succulent fritters that are still handmade by mum herself.

Nicolas Hauman’s former villa is steeped in an exquisite ambience that is quite unforgettable. Whether you opt for the classical à la carte lineup or the more modern menu, you know the ingredients will be first-rate. Lightly seared fillet of veal with a ratatouille and a mustard-spiked gravy or glazed whiting paired with crunchy asparagus, briny Limonium and vin jaune flavoured beurre blanc: a fine dining treat from the appetisers to the dessert, further enhanced by seamless, spot-on service.

€€€Farm to table, Classic Cuisine
Warm and stylish, Kokovin boasts a superb garden patio, but above all, it is the scene of a successful family adventure. The cheerful lady of the house, Peggy, greets guests warmly, plying them with insightful wine tips along the way, while her hubbie, Dominique, and son, Francis, conjure up recipes that range from modern to classical. In addition to textbook prepared sole, you may sample generous shrimp fritters that melt in the mouth and duckling served with piping hot fries, together with a host of more unusual textures. Consider us smitten!
