Three new restaurants awarded two stars in the MICHELIN Guide Belgium and Luxembourg 2019
The MICHELIN Guide Belgium and Luxembourg illustrates the richness of the culinary scenes of these two countries.
139 restaurants awarded one or more stars in the latest edition. Among them, three establishments have received two stars for the first time and 7 others have been distinguished with one star.
The restaurant Hof Van Cleve (Kruishoutem) remains at the forefront of Belgian gastronomy in this 2019 edition. Peter GOOSENS’ establishment retains its three stars thanks to his personal and consistent cuisine. The famous veal sweetbreads with truffles, one of the restaurant's iconic specialties, continue, year after year, to seduce Michelin’s inspectors and gourmets from all over the world. Following the closure of the restaurant Hertog Jan (Zedelgem), Belgium now only has one three starred restaurant.
The MICHELIN Guide Belgium and Luxembourg 2019 is also enriched by three new two star restaurants. At La Paix (Anderlecht), chef David Martin gives all the measure of his talent by proposing a singular cuisine. He interprets the great classics in his own way and manages to create remarkable nuances by using Asian techniques.
Chef Maxime Collard, of La Table de Maxime, in Our, delivers a very personal vision of modern cuisine. Its technicality and inventiveness are such that it is able to captivate diners with only a few high-quality ingredients perfectly cooked.
We find this same attention to detail at Ma Langue Sourit in Oetrange, where chef Cyril Molard never ceases to surprise his customers with an impressive palette of flavors.
Speaking about the selection, Gwendal POULLENNEC, International Director of MICHELIN Guides commented: “This 2019 selection, with its 139 starred establishments, perfectly illustrates what characterizes the Belgian and Luxemburg gastronomic scenes. Indeed, we find among the distinguished restaurants, establishments that offer traditional cuisine consisting of authentic specialties from the pinnacle of the gastronomic heritage of these two countries, but also more contemporary restaurants that combine modern techniques and flavors from elsewhere. Our inspectors have, again this year, been able to compile, from a precise methodology, a complete selection faithful to the gastronomies of Belgium and Luxembourg”.
Seven new restaurants earn a first star in this 2019 edition:
In Wallonia, at La Plage d’Amée in Jambes, Julien Wauthier's inexhaustible creativity is a real treat. Here, the cuisine is elaborate and of great finesse. Benjamin Laborie at La Ligne Rouge in Plancenoit has chosen to seduce his customers with generous classic flavors he offers in dishes that are both modern and highly technical; the sauces in particular are remarkable and give depth to each of the dishes.
This same know-how characterizes the cuisine of Arold Bourgeois. His Little Paris restaurant in Waterloo is a casual establishment where typically bistro-style dishes tempt diners to experience a high-flying taste experience. Thanks to original inspiration, the chef and his teams manage to create dishes that do not leave diners indifferent.
In Flanders, talented young chefs are also beginning to make their mark on the gastronomic scene. Philippe Heylen, of restaurant EED in Leuven, surprises and intrigues diners with classic flavors presented in a contemporary form. Aged 23, he won the Young Chef of the Year award this year. At Nathan, in Antwerp, Nathan Van Echelpoel reinvents classic cuisine with audacity and a great sense of balance. As for Tim Meuleneire at the head of the restaurant FRANQ, also located in Antwerp, he offers cuisine that balances tradition and modernity, with panache. His precision and knowledge of sauces transform each dish into a pure delight.
In the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the restaurant Les jardins d'Anaïs in Luxembourg is also awarded one star. In this elegant establishment, you will savor cuisine that has been magnified by the know-how of an experienced chef who has made finesse and refinement the foundations of his cuisine.
During the launch of the MICHELIN Guide Belgium and Luxembourg 2019, Comme Chez Soi restaurant in Brussels will be honored to showcase its exceptional history. Indeed, this establishment, whose reputation is second to none, has been in our star selection for 66 years, making it one of the most famous restaurants in Belgium. For four generations now, Comme Chez Soi has showcased the finest local produce through dishes of remarkable quality: the sole served with a delicate Riesling sauce and shrimps remains a timeless classic that has evolved with the times, and continues to grow and to seduce the most demanding palates.
The 2019 selection also includes 171 Bib Gourmand restaurants (identified in the guide by the Michelin Man symbol), including 23 new addresses. These establishments all offer a complete menu for less than 37 euros, and which bear the signature of talented chefs. Together, these addresses reflect the diversity and the gastronomic richness of Belgium and Luxembourg.
The MICHELIN Guide Belgium and Luxembourg 2019 will go on sale from 22 November at a price of 23.95 euros in Belgium and 23.27 euros in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. In this 63rd edition there are 327 hotels (including 85 guest houses) and 891 restaurants including:
- 1 three star restaurant
- 26 two star restaurants (of which 3 are new)
- 112 one star restaurants (of which 7 are new)
