Dadaist art by Marcel Duchamp and Jacques Charlier sets the distinctive arty scene in this colourful restaurant, further enhanced by a genuine warm welcome and a wealth of luxury details. Make a beeline for the patio in fine weather to make the most of the historic village of Durbuy. Rather than surrealist, the food embodies the essence of a MICHELIN one-star establishment: taste!
Renowned chef Wout Bru lets his ingenious creations and deftly crafted dishes speak for themselves, zooming in on outstanding produce, which he flanks with unexpected combinations that ooze with Mediterranean charm. Langoustine, cooked to perfection, is paired with a sweet potato purée, belly of pork, subtle hints of passion fruit and an exquisite lemongrass-flavoured beurre blanc. Each surprise is underscored by familiar flavours, such as a gutsy Harlequin sauce served with saddle of hare. Intelligent wine pairing suggestions further heighten the diner’s pleasure, as do the superb cheese platter and sweet titbits served with coffee. Every detail is puzzled and pondered over endlessly at Le Grand Verre.
