€€€Farm to table, Modern Cuisine
A black and white tiled floor and an open fire set the scene in this plush bourgeois 19C home, but the comfort is entirely 21C, as is the splendid terrace to the rear. The chef has opted for a playful lineup of international influences, without forgetting his classical heritage. He might pair a tataki of bonito with a sweet-sour vinaigrette, or medium rare veal with black truffles, a tarragon mayonnaise and a bordelaise sauce. A choice of four-, five- and six-course menus, all of which overflow with intensity and flavour.

Broes Tavernier hails his suppliers as “heroes”, which speaks volumes for his commitment to locally sourced produce. From asparagus and fish from the North Sea to partridges, he unfailingly selects the best. His creative, high-flying approach to cooking aims to let the ingredients shout their name. We recommend the insightful wine-food pairing suggestions. After a fine meal in this friendly establishment (great patio), pop into Eetalage and take a few goodies home.
