A sweeping view of the Lys River and the Broel Towers thanks to the establishment’s huge windows and riverside terrace awaits diners. A “rough and refined” (their words) décor provides the perfect foil to Matthias Speybrouck’s creativity, which shines through in recipes that star local veggies and fish from the North Sea, jazzed up with fresh acidic, even quirky (their words again) notes, while exotic ingredients are crafted into punchy sauces. Subtle cuisine throbbing with character.
