Description

Huge vats of beer and a remarkable tree sculpture immediately catch the eye as you step foot in the Staminée. Continue on to the elegant brasserie, where a trendy playlist and hip décor set the cosmopolitan scene. The chef puts his own spin on classical recipes. Examples of Fortuin’s focus on gutsy, authentic flavour include house-made fritters stuffed with hand-shelled grey shrimp or fork-tender cutlets flanked by crispy, piping-hot French fries cooked in tallow. Parents may be interested to know that children are more than welcome (special menu) and that there is a playground almost next-doo

Review summary

Fortuin in Edegem offers creative French and Belgian cuisine, holding an average rating of 3.7/5 from 72 reviews. Positive feedback highlights delicious food, friendly service, and a cozy, modern atmosphere, with specific praise for wagyu tongue. However, criticism focuses on inconsistent food quality, citing issues like strange pâté texture, overcooked trout, and falling-apart fish goujonettes. Service is generally well-received but occasionally criticized for pacing. While the setting is pleasant, weekend parking is difficult. Value is mixed; some find it expensive despite reasonable wine prices, while others appreciate the Gault & Millau recognition.
