The dinner had the hotel’s culinary team whipping up a four-course ‘Belgium Brasserie’ dinner, with classic delights such as Belgian endives with caramelised walnuts, mandarin oranges, goat cheese fritter and lemon vinaigrette and Waterzooi of Poultry and puff pastry (a Belgian stew).
A special menu of Belgian classics were served that evening, including (L-R) endives, waterzooi, and waffles.
