Le Chalet de la Forêt
Brussels
Blending art with intelligence, Pascal Devalkeneer achieves the perfect balance between traditional and avant-garde concepts.
Both elegant and refined, Le Chalet de la Forêt’s decor shows each and every aspiring cook that the reputation of a restaurant is not built on top-quality cuisine alone: atmosphere, work and consistency count just as much as the menu.
Pascal is well-known for the attention that he pays to trends: he knows that there is a season for each dish, as well as each product, and that tastes and techniques evolve with the times.
An ardent supporter of seasonal cooking, he only uses ingredients that come from natural produce, as though he was cooking for himself. This almost philosophical approach is what makes all the difference in his dishes.
For him, cooking, as well as tasting, makes up part of the same experience – a joyful experience.
Therefore, because he carefully keeps this idea in mind whenever he concocts one of his dishes, every last one of them appeals to all of our senses.
