Zet'Joe is more casual and a little bit like walking into the chef's home. A warm interior and an impressive art collection instantly set the scene. Mireille, his delightful partner in the dining room, wields the cheese trolley with impressive dexterity. Van Hecke harnesses his consummate knowhow and sensitivity to enhancing first-rate ingredients. A silky last-minute béarnaise sauce, made with carrot and orange jus, coaxes out the full flavour of lightly seared scallops, further flanked by an awesome millefeuille of aniseed-flavoured earthy veggies. The chef effortlessly deploys his culinary wizardry and insights in a truly classy act. In addition to food that will set all your tastebuds tingling, you can expect the attentions of an elegant maitre d', who discreetly embodies the establishment's friendly vibe. "Bon appétit" is all that is left to say!
