Image Credit: This maverick chef, who hit the guidelines at In De Wulf and Chambre Séparée, has begun a new adventure in the heart of Brussels. Eliane, which is named after his grandmother, exudes a smart lounge vibe. From the swish service and made-to-measure skillets to the open kitchen counter and funky soundtrack, chef Desramaults has fine-tuned every detail of his establishment.The food shows Kobe's creative stretch and virtuoso technique. You can expect a festival of big-boned Appetizers and Dishes, in which he seems to highlight the essence and purity of the often-local ingredient. Examples include a velvety risotto enriched in wine yellow and flaked by briny oysters or a magnificent red mullet cooked on a binchotan and paired with a punchy stock of bones, salt clams, fresh grapefruit and a winter-based sauce. Desramaults changes the fishes of his set menu daily in a bid to try out new ideas and constantly surprise his dinners. A meal at Eliane is a genius experience.
