Guests chat about daily life and enjoy authentic French dishes. When the plates are empty and the conversations end, the hosts surprise their guests with a dessert of French cheeses, served from an authentic cheese trolley. This is the dream of host Yves Mullenders and chef Gyan Vliegen, who will open the doors of Bouchon d\u2019en Fa\u00e7e on October 2nd.<\/p>\n<p>The duo conceived a French concept with traditional and honest dishes at an affordable price. Bouchon d\u2019en Fa\u00e7e is a blend of a bistro, a tavern, and gastronomy, where wit and daring come first. A hallmark of an original bouchon is the personal connection the staff builds with its guests. \u201cWe go a step beyond hospitality,\u201d says Mullenders. Young and old are welcome for lunch, dinner, or drinks. A French wine is served with charcuterie, freshly sliced with the slicer that stands at the bar. The relaxed French atmosphere flows through the menu and the interior.<\/p>\n<p>Product designer Fran\u00e7oise Oostwegel is responsible for the decor. She scoured antique markets in search of original furniture and accessories that fit the image. The result is a place where guests feel at home and can enjoy traditional French cuisine.<\/p>\n<p>On the menu are dishes like bouillabaisse, steak tartare, escargots, and steak b\u00e9arnaise. Chef Vliegen prepares everything with love. \u201cI\u2019m thinking about food every minute of the day,\u201d says Vliegen enthusiastically. His passion for food was passed down to him by his parents.<\/p>\n<p>After graduating from the Hotelschool in Maastricht, he gained experience in several kitchens in Maastricht, including caf\u00e9 Lure. That\u2019s where the two hosts met. As the owner of caf\u00e9 Lure, Mullenders also gained extensive hospitality experience. He pours his knowledge and enthusiasm into the new bouchon, where he spoils his guests. Mullenders says, &#8220;The kitchen has to be good, but above all, we try to create a great atmosphere so our guests feel like they\u2019re in heaven.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11794,"template":"","bistro-provincies":[228],"bistro-categorie":[],"class_list":["post-11793","bistro","type-bistro","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","bistro-provincies-netherlands"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bistronomie.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bistro\/11793","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bistronomie.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bistro"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bistronomie.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/bistro"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bistronomie.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11794"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bistronomie.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"bistro-provincies","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bistronomie.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bistro-provincies?post=11793"},{"taxonomy":"bistro-categorie","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bistronomie.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bistro-categorie?post=11793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
