Bozar Restaurant Brussels – 1 Michelin Star

February 25, 2021 By Jennifer Che Leave a Comment

Bozar Restaurant Brussels
The famous pithivier at Bozar Restaurant in Brussels

2020 was an odd blur of a year.

On the one hand the pre-COVID world feels like eons ago, a different era, a world from another lifetime. On the other hand, 2020 seems to have whizzed by, and that time in March when we were stuck in Belgium wasn’t that long ago. As I approach the one-year anniversary of leaving Belgium, I’ve decided it’s time to wrap up my blog posts about that crazy time. My goal will be to finish this long-running Belgium series by March 14th, the day we left Belgium a year ago.

I’ll start this final “push to the end” by sharing about one of our favorite meals in Brussels.

Bozar Restaurant serves modern and upscale European food executed with Chef Karen Torosyan’s creative artistry and obsessive precision. Located in the BOZAR Centre for Fine Arts in central Brussels, Bozar has held a Michelin star since 2018 and has a score of 17 out of 20 in the Gault & Millau Guide.

Dining at Bozar Restaurant means having a chance to marvel at Chef Torosyan’s meticulously crafted culinary creations one course after another, culminating in one of his signature croûtes (preparations in crusts), like the pithivier (more on that below).

Fin de Siecle Brussels

February 23, 2021 By Jennifer Che Leave a Comment

Fin de Siecle Brussels

“Fin de Siecle” literally means “End of the Century” in French. We first noticed this otherwise seemingly unassuming place because it was immensely popular (always very crowded during those pre-COVID times), oftentimes with a line out the door. It’s popular because the food’s hearty, authentic, and tasty, plus the prices are very, very reasonable. Furthermore,…

The Araki Hong Kong

How do you celebrate a birthday during a global pandemic? On the one hand, we have been pretty fortunate here in Hong Kong. In general the case numbers are not high and we have had months of near normalcy when case numbers were in the single digits and it almost felt like things were back…

L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon Hong Kong

January 18, 2021 By Jennifer Che Leave a Comment

L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon Hong Kong

Our “relationship” with Joel Robuchon (the restaurant) spans many years. We first visited the Mansion Joel Robuchon (3 Michelin stars) in Las Vegas literally a decade ago in 2010. That was our first time being introduced to the famous bread cart, mignardises cart, the copious displays of caviar, and his signature velvety mashed potatoes. We…
