Fortunate enough to have visited In De Wulf early Summer of 2016 I regrettably missed Chambre Séparée, so when Kobe Desramaults announced Eliane a return to Brussels was planned immediately.
Just 22 seats, including half at a bar, guests at Eliane get to watch Desramaults and staff work largely with flames and standard kirchen equipment as 26 creations come together from local, seasonal ingredients.
Named after Chef's grandmother the project is clearly a personal one, including the sizable vinyl soundtrack and Kobe working every station from start to cleanup.
As with In de Wulf plates are intentionally simple and ingredient focused but boldly flavored and creative, while service is warm and generous.
