Eliane
Brussels, Belgium
Kobe Desramaults’ Eliane offers a personal, produce-led take on fine dining in central Brussels. Named after the chef’s grandmother, the restaurant pairs a restrained, welcoming interior with a tasting menu that responds to what is available. Vegetables, fish and seafood have a prominent role, while meat is used more selectively. The experience favours a sequence of carefully composed courses over an extensive list of fixed signatures. Belgian ingredients and the chef’s background at In de Wulf and Chambre Séparée help explain the restaurant’s character, but Eliane has its own intimate identity. It suits diners who enjoy discovering a kitchen’s current ideas rather than choosing the same dishes on every visit.
