Kobe Desramaults is on a permanent quest for renewal. This maverick chef, who hit the headlines at In De Wulf and Chambre Séparée, has begun a new adventure in the heart of Brussels. Eliane, which is named after his grandmother, exudes a smart lounge vibe. From the swish service and made-to-measure skillets to the open kitchen counter and funky soundtrack, chef Desramaults has fine-tuned every detail of his establishment.The food showcases Kobe’s creative streak and virtuoso technique. You can expect a festival of big-boned appetisers and dishes, in which he aims to highlight the essence and purity of the often-local ingredient. Examples include a velvety risotto enriched in vin jaune and flanked by briny oysters or a magnificent red mullet cooked on a binchotan and paired with a punchy stock of bones, salty clams, fresh grapefruit and a liver-based sauce. Desramaults changes the dishes of his set menu daily in a bid to try out new ideas and constantly surprise his diners. A meal at Eliane is a genuine experience.
