L’Air du Temps Two-Michelin-Starred Foodie Oasis in Belgium

About an hour from Brussels is L’Air du Temps, a two-Michelin-starred restaurant from chef Sang-Hoon Degeimbre. The setting is spectacular, like walking into a hidden foodie oasis. The walls in the dining room are made of glass, so you can look out into the vegetable garden during your meal. It’s a truly stunning place. Our favorite dish was the French scallops with celeriac, chamomile, and sansho leaves, and we were amazed at their wine list. On this occasion, we enjoyed wines from Laherte Freres, Muster, and Overnoy, and they had lots more of our favorite producers in their cellar. They have eleven guest rooms on the farm for those who want to spend the night. The farm breakfast in the morning is also very cozy – they make everything themselves in-house, from the butter to the croissants.
