• Sir Kwinten★★ Michelin 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 classic14.8km

• Bistro Racine★ Michelin Bistro Racine is proof that, contrary to popular belief, a MICHELIN star isn’t always about fancy fine dining. One immediately feels at home in this setting that mixes modern and authentic fixtures and fittings and in which the open kitchen plays the star role. Jimmy Collodoro regales diners with premium produce. The market-fresh, seasonal dishes, chalked up on a slate, change regularly, without forgetting firm fixtures, like beef grilled in a Mibrasa charcoal oven. The food is finely crafted and refreshingly straightforward. Unexpected details add a humorous twist, illustrated by a creamy ris16.3km
• La Paix★★ Michelin A culinary landmark of Brussels dating back to 1892, La Paix was originally where the local butchers came for a bite to eat at the end of their working day. Chef David Martin has traded in the traditional brasserie score for a neoteric menu that is as impressive as the interior is lavish. La Paix now blends Brussels’ heritage with Japanese minimalism, embodied by a shimmering flock of origami birds suspended in flight from the ceiling and enhanced by soft lighting. This almost reverential setting provides the perfect foil for Martin and his team to add the final touch to their creations on the26.1km
• Agnes★ Michelin Thomas Locus has restored this former presbytery in the picturesque streets around the church of Bodeghem-Saint-Martin whilst upholding its period character.

The lineup of outstanding ingredients is emblematic of this ethos: hop shoots, hare and Burgundy wines are showcased with love and passion.This is also true of the intense sauces and spot-on culinary technique, embodied by juicy turbot cooked on the bone and paired with a sauce choron th22.4km

• Le Chalet de la Forêt★★ Michelin Pascal Devalkeneer’s chalet is magnificently set on the edge of the Sonian Forest and the chalet’s terrace makes the most of this fantastic natural environment. The restaurant overlooking the chef’s cottage garden oozes luxurious elegance to which you should add well-oiled, slick service and, above all, chef Devalkeneer’s personal stamp on each dish. His blend of classicism and creativity reveals surgical precision, as well as a quest for subtlety and generosity. He scours the countryside of Belgium and France for the best ingredients from Aveyron lamb to abalone from the Brittany coast and ho26.2km
• Philippe Meyers★ Michelin Philippe and Valerie Meyers are sincere, warm-hearted folks, adjectives that also depict the interior design of their dinky eatery which showcases a magnificent collection of Michelin Guides. Valérie plays the role of hostess with great spontaneity and adores waxing lyrical about the chef’s passion for Walloon produce and his ability to tell a tale with just a few ingredients. Take for example his signature dish of speck, cooked for 17 hours, which he pairs with lemon-flavoured Eau de Villée, seared, still translucent langoustine tails and a gutsy sauce of hoisin and confit lemons.

Éric, a past master of old school cooking, crafts nostalgic food that reads like a culinary encyclopaedia.

Expertise and finesse are the hallmarks of this establishment, and nowhere is this more evident than in the rich, full-bodied sauces.
