De Mijlpaal

As you explore the oldest town of Belgium, we recommend venturing down this pretty pedestrian lane to number 25. You will first be surprised by the elegant modernity of the interior, rich in cosy details and designer touches. After An has graciously seated you at your table, Jan Menten rolls out his creative talents. Premium ingredients like langoustine and Anjou pigeon reveal all their complexity thanks to consummate traditional technique. The chef adds an unexpected twist to familiar flavours with subtle touches and side dishes of Mediterranean inspiration. He cooks monkfish in a noisette butter, adding depth with chorizo, a subtly, spicy curry cream and panipuri filled with peppers. Chef Menten’s surgically precise and instantly recognisable cooking is dotted with international aromas that invigorate his recipes. Mijpaal means “milestone” and we warrant that this eatery will be a landmark for all discerning food connoisseurs.
