Monsieur V

Jan Verhaert cooks what he likes to eat, which is nostalgic Gallic classics with the occasional nod to Italy. His cosy neighbourhood restaurant rolls out confident bistro fare of the likes of pâté en croûte or a succulent pithivier (pie) of pheasant, mushrooms and foie gras in a butter-rich puff pastry shell. And what about a decadent flaky pastry millefeuille with vanilla-rich crème pâtissière for dessert? The razor-sharp precision of the cooking and the chef's penchant for gutsy flavours are truly noteworthy. A champion of French culinary tradition, Monsieur Verhaert delivers exceptional food at prices that won't break the bank.
