The charm of this old fisherman’s cottage with a red tiled floor, low raftered ceiling and a cheerful vibe never fails to weave its magic spell. It provides the perfect foil to sample pedigree Belgian fare in which fish and the seasons take the limelight. Iain Wittevrongel demonstrates that he knows how to source top-drawer ingredients and is a dab hand at mixing authenticity with innovative ideas. Pheasant à la brabançonne cooked whole or sole poached in hand-shelled shrimps with mashed potato and a butter and Riesling sauce to die for: the chef doesn’t take short cuts to ensure that you are treated to a feast of rich flavours. Well-oiled, seamless service.
