Veteran chef Axel Colonna-Cesari is at the summum of his art, and he and his charming wife, Anneleen, form a splendid team. Their contemporary establishment is a model of classy elegance, sporting soft colours and fashionable furnishings. Centpourcent is a blue-chip value, as is quickly apparent from the crowd of regulars. It is just the ticket for any occasion from a high-powered business lunch to a romantic dinner. Chef Colonna-Cesari’s consummate know-how and measured creativity can be tasted in light, exuberant cuisine, overflowing in fresh, delicately crafted flavours. Subtle nuances underscore the ingredients from bitter coffee notes to a fresh Asian-inspired vinaigrette. Examples include a kumato tomato that he coats in a smoked creamy yoghurt and carabinero shrimp, to which he then adds a flurry of flavours courtesy of olive-spiked ice cream, a spicy kimchi emulsion overflowing in umami, and a few drops of sweet, fruity balsamic vinegar. You can also trust the sommelier to dig out an unusual vintage, or even beer. He can also suggest an excellent lineup of non-alcoholic beverages. Centpourcent is a 100% knockout establishment!
