Description

A hip bistronomic venue in the heart of the trendy Patershol district. The establishment’s popularity has nothing to do with luck and everything to do with Kim Devisschere’s uninhibited, no-holds barred cooking, doubled with a commitment to organic, locally sourced ingredients. Examples include North Sea fish, such as gravlax of seabass served with a foaming vichyssoise mousse, green peas in horseradish for added whoomph, oil of wild garlic and finely diced potatoes. The set menu whereby you can choose the number of courses is a hit every time. Splendid wine list (excellent natural wines) and
