Sir Kwinten

★★ Michelin€€€€Modern Cuisine, French

Wine is central to Sir Kwinten, as you cannot fail but notice as soon as you cross the threshold of this imposing mansion. Flacons of wine are showcased in a display case, while Gueuze beer bottles escort you on your way to the restroom. Yannick Dehandschutter is a high-flying sommelier, who gets as much pleasure out of suggesting local beers and wine from the Dappeersveld estate as the production of a few daring winegrowers and even sakes. Now make your way upstairs to the elegant dining room, where wine also takes centre stage, thanks to food-wine matches made in heaven courtesy of a classic

€€Traditional Cuisine, Sharing

A drop-dead wine list, a knock-out collection of authentic local brews and updated family favourites to share: this bustling restaurant on Lennik market square attracts foodies like bees to honey! They swarm here for shrimp fritters, grilled loin of pork with a light frothy béarnaise sauce and piping-hot crunchy French fries cooked in beef fat, without forgetting grilled seabass and a host of other delectable morsels. Exuberant home-style cooking that shines the spotlight on local produce courtesy of textbook know-how. Ten out of ten!

As you enter the lifestyle boutique, you will notice the snug restaurant at the rear leading into a pretty garden, where, as you sit on the patio, you may even be forgiven for thinking you’re in Italy! Chef Kayes Ghourabi soaks his recipes in Italian sunshine as recognisable Mediterranean aromas and flavours unfold and captivate our tastebuds. Examples include a pedigree vitello tonnato or a breast of duck with a hazelnut crumble and a drizzling of subtle cooking juices. Bang on every time and always open to new twists.
