Cuchara
Creative, Modern Cuisine · ★★ Michelin
€€€€
Music and nature enjoy guest-star status at Cuchara. The former adds a relaxed lounge mood, while the latter, embodied by a wood- and leather-rich interior, paints a distinctive trendy portrait. A seven-metre-long glass tree sculpture hanging from the ceiling seems to float over the dining room! Cuchara is mysterious, confidential and quirky, and Jan Tournier gets a kick out of surprising diners. His punchy, no-holds barred cuisine is offbeat and individual and he manages to astound with just a few ingredients and lashings of creativity, often tinged with Asian notes. Right from the appetisers

La Belle
Creative French · ★ Michelin
€€€
Peter Vangenechten has made the peaceful country village of Bel a landmark of Belgium’s fine dining landscape. The chef learned the trade in top establishments before returning to his roots and entirely reworking the former stables of a farmstead. Bare timbers support the tall roof, while the elegant interior paints a cosy picture. The idyllic scene is set for chef Vangenechten to work his magic on regional produce, adding international notes, creative side dishes and a playful mixture of textures that enhances and underscores the main ingredient. He savvily blends classic and international in

Bouffard
Modern French
€€€
Bouffard has two different dining spaces to suit different moods: a snug lounge area at the front and a more vibrant room adorned with colourful artworks. Thomas Dockx is very selective when it comes to his ingredients, and he takes a less-is-more approach to preparing them. Eschewing any unnecessary frills, he allows the natural flavours to shine through with the help of robust sauces. In one of his exuberant dishes, he combines golden-brown pan-fried scallops, tender pork cheek and a creamed cheek broth. This chef understands how to create a well-rounded set menu that keeps you engaged from

Cocotte
Modern French, Classic French
€€€
Jan Mangelschots has clearly pondered and puzzled over every detail of the delightful Cocotte from the Art deco stained-glass, natural light and soothing colour scheme to its swish, uncluttered vibe and art-directed plating. Consummate yet subtle execution and intense sauces depict both the classical à la carte and the set menus. The chef has a flair for adding a sophisticated spin to a terrine of asparagus and squid served with a chilled asparagus soup and cream of smoked eel. Everything, from the food to the service, is bang-on confident and brimming in personality.

Promessa
World Cuisine, Creative · Bib
€€
With "Food is art" as their motto, the chefs at this trendy and laid-back restaurant treat their plates like canvases, placing a strong emphasis on aesthetics. But fear not: these visually stunning dishes are also packed with flavour. Koen van den Kerkhof's creativity draws on the culinary traditions of the Netherlands, France and more far-flung locations, with his limitless imagination reflected in a wide-ranging menu. Diners enjoy dishes such as albacore tuna poppadom, classically prepared pheasant breast with a rich veal jus, succulent beef rendang, or spaghetti aglio e olio. They have the

DiVino
Contemporary, Mediterranean Cuisine · Bib
€€
This former school has been transformed into a warm, urban restaurant, including a graffiti portrait of Don Corleone! You can see the chefs working their magic in the open kitchen, where they create Italian and Mediterranean dishes full of creativity and nuanced flavours. The risotto puttanesca and the conchiglioni served with game stew and a rich jus are intensely flavoured dishes. Thanks to the wide range of sharing dishes and snacks, and the possibility of ordering half portions of the pasta dishes, you can decide how lavish your meal will be. The fabulous Italian wine library is also a hit

La Baita
Italian Contemporary
€€
Authentic aromas and flavours of linguine alla Genovese, thickly cut wagyu picanha, grilled rare or a modern take on cannoli: this enchanting restaurant celebrates all the facets of Italian cuisine. Chef Sandro gets a kick out of mixing techniques and textures, adding his own distinctive hallmark to each dish, whilst remaining true to his homeland’s culinary roots – the chef hails from Marche.

De Cuylhoeve
Modern French
€€€
De Cuylhoeve enjoys a truly magical setting in the heart of the Campine Forest, providing the perfect stage for this romantic restaurant. Start with a glass of bubbly from the impressive list of champagnes, before sampling chef Bart Janssens’ masterful know-how. He finds his inspiration in pedigree French recipes, to which he adds his own more modern spin, sharing his passion for first-class produce along the way.
