Two MICHELIN Stars : Excellent cooking, worth a detour!
The personality and talent of the chef and their team is evident in the expertly crafted dishes, which are refined, inspired and sometimes original.
The domain of Château Wittem is one of those places that gives you a special feeling as soon as you cross its threshold. A charming national monument dating back to the 11C, the castle exudes classical elegance from the outside (the terrace in the greenery is magnificent); inside, you are immersed in a world of modern luxury. But it is chef Guido Braeken's talent that takes the experience to the next level. This is a chef who knows how to bring out the best of extraordinary produce. For instance, he offsets the finesse of hamachi with a spoonful of caviar, pear and a fennel and jalapeño sauce. Chef Braeken's talent lies in the delicacy of his dishes. Technique and instinct go hand in hand. The precise balance of each ingredient feeds into expressive, lively flavours. Every bite is full of intensity. Take, for example, the spicy warmth of tandoori masala with fleshy langoustine combined with buttery squid and deep tomato sauces spiced up with sansho pepper. At Julemont, you will experience bespoke cuisine with youthful exuberance.
