After several successful years, Andy De Brouwer didn’t rest on his laurels. His passion for wine and a more accessible “Bistronomie” concept took the lead, and he brought Les Eleveurs back to the culinary map. It’s a charming, creative restaurant where the best ingredients are offered at an affordable price. The interior underwent a complete re-styling, creating the perfect foundation for a casual, relaxed atmosphere. The name still nods to the Brabant draft horses, “Les Eleveurs”.
In the kitchen, the talented chef Michel Borsy is the one responsible for the culinary fireworks. The base of the cuisine is built around local producers from Pajottenland and Belgian ingredients. It’s an inventive, ingredient-focused kitchen, rooted in classic techniques. The menu focuses on seasonality and freshness, offering excellent value for money. The highlight is a seven-course carte blanche option. The menu features classics, evergreens, and some exciting new suggestions. You may be surprised by dishes like calf’s brains “chaud-froid” and tartare or a rib-eye steak from Hof Berchemveld.
This cozy experience also features a wine bar with tapas portions. As you’d expect from a top sommelier, Andy knows exactly which wine will be appreciated by his guests.
The restaurant also operates an adjoining hotel, run by Amanda, Andy’s sister. On beautiful days, you can enjoy the charming terrace in the courtyard, where plane trees and wisteria create a Mediterranean atmosphere.
Starting in Spring 2021, also make sure to visit Andy’s latest venture: Vloei-bar, a cocktail bar located in the Market Square of Halle.
The biggest ambassador of bistronomic principles is likely found in Halle!
