Who? De Vitrine
What? It’s casual dining at De Vitrine but in the rustic environs of the restaurant are refined plates of food. Perhaps because it’s Kobe Desramaults of the Michelin-starred In De Wulf giving directions behind the stoves. Seasonal and local is key for food and wine but don’t expect to find anything ordinary.
