Description

Maxime Colin’s artistically appointed romantic establishment was made for a date night (or lunch), while the patio, tucked away in the garden of Jourdain castle, drips with alfresco charm come summertime. The menu quickly reveals the chef’s passion for stellar ingredients and international influences. His modern culinary style features subtlety, spot-on craftsmanship and a constant quest for innovation. For example, he may coat scallops wrapped in a cabbage leaf in a house-made XO sauce and pair them with a salad of green peas jazzed up by a zest of refreshing lemon juice.

Review summary

Maxime Colin in Zaventem holds a 4.8/5 rating on TripAdvisor based on 80 reviews. The cuisine is noted for being refined, inventive, and flavor-concentrated, often blending land and sea ingredients with high-quality products. Service is generally praised, particularly the sommelier's expertise, though some find the adventurous menu restrictive for non-adventurous diners, lacking nut alternatives. The ambiance features a charming old house by a pond, with a quiet terrace ideal for summer, though indoor air conditioning is absent. Criticisms focus on value and flexibility: portions are small, prices are considered high by some, and the fixed-menu format limits customer choice, leading to mixed feelings about worth.

Best for

Suitable for diners seeking refined, innovative cuisine and wine pairings, but less ideal for those preferring à la carte options or requiring air conditioning.
