Formerly a Jesuit smallholding and then a veal farm, Arenberg morphed into a culinary landmark that has been crowned by a Michelin star since 2001. The devoted service of delightful Iris and the passion of veteran chef Lieven Demeestere set the scene, as they welcome you with open arms into their stylish establishment dotted with works of art by Daisy Boman, or onto the exquisite terrace near the lush green garden. Respect for the produce is the backbone of Arenberg. This is illustrated by braised shoulder of pork, one of the house signature dishes that boasts crisp crunchy skin and tender flavoursome meat, further enhanced by a slice of melting foie gras and a salad of fresh herb leaves. Or what about wild turbot, grilled and juicy, flanked by a knockout olive oil sauce? One thing is certain: every dish is emblematic of this establishment’s authentic generosity, which is confirmed by just a glance at the size of the portions and a peak at the devilishly decadent dessert menu. If you pop in during the afternoon, you can even devise your own made-to-measure menu from the à la carte offering.
