Philippe Fauchet

Philippe Fauchet enjoys straying from his comfort zone and has developed his own distinctive hallmark in this snug but buzzy eatery deep in the Liege countryside. An artisan at heart, he prepares everything himself (even the bread). While impossible to sum up in a single word, let’s say his style is quirky and scattered with international accents, but with a firm focus on local ingredients and veggies, thanks to partnerships with regional farmers. All of which is combined in intriguing, jazzy, playful recipes, illustrated by his bold mixture of fresh cream, red beetroot and hazelnuts, blanched cabbage, a reduction of Barolo wine vinegar, lemon confit, a dusting of aged parmesan and foie gras. The chef plays with contrasts and textures in a bid to constantly titillate and tease our tastebuds. The wine list and food-wine pairings are fully in line with this amazing experience. Bold, unconventional and distinctive.
