• La Belle★ Michelin Peter Vangenechten has made the peaceful country village of Bel a landmark of Belgium’s fine dining landscape.

• Cuchara★★ 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.

• Bouffard 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.
