Zet'Joe by Geert Van Hecke
french · ★ Michelin
€€€€
Geert Van Hecke, who boasted three Michelin stars for twenty years at the Karmeliet, is definitely worthy of the title “Godfather of Belgian gastronomy”. Zet’Joe is more casual and a little bit like walking into the chef’s home. A warm interior and an impressive art collection instantly set the scene. Mireille, his delightful partner in the dining room, wields the cheese trolley with impressive dexterity. Van Hecke harnesses his consummate knowhow and sensitivity to enhancing first-rate ingredients. A silky last-minute béarnaise sauce, made with carrot and orange jus, coaxes out the full flavo

As the name suggests (Without a tie), this eatery is casual in vibe. The snug interior, done up in pastel shades, is bathed in natural light. Despite a lineup of familiar flavours, Sans cravate knows how to surprise the diner. The concise à la carte menu, together with a weekday menu and a several course menu at the weekend, bear witness to the attention lavished on exceptional ingredients by chef Henk Van Oudenhouve. He might mingle textures, such as langoustine and artichoke, with a punchy bisque made out of shellfish heads, and cooks the mullet on a spit in a delicious Mediterranean dish fe

Thibault and Jade’s establishment is a treasure trove of culinary delights. In their tastefully appointed HQ, kick off with wholesome starters like pâté en croûte or marbled ham, before continuing with flawlessly fresh brill paired with a tangy nantaise sauce and briny clams, unless you wouldn’t prefer pheasant à la brabançonne. The veteran chef, a true disciple of text-book Gallic fare, nonetheless enjoys adding the odd international twist. Big-boned flavours, hearty helpings, culinary proficiency.

Filip Claeys is mad about fish. The grandson of a fisherman, he founded NorthSeaChefs, which endeavours to encourage consumers to eat lesser known and accidentally caught fish. Equally at home with red meat and top-drawer ingredients like langoustine, he loves wowing diners with dogfish. The menu always indicates the origin of the boats that supply the fish. Claeys’ style is inventive and unconventional, as delicate sauces and vinaigrettes showcase his classical training, whilst allowing his personality to shine through as he adapts to today’s trends.
