Stepping into Le Pigeon Noir is like travelling back in time to Brussels of yesteryear and this bistro has all the trappings of an authentic village cafe, including tightly packed tables, a few seats at the counter, a buzzy vibe and waiters in full garb. Hunger obliterating Burgundian staples set the scene on the menu. The chef works solely with premium produce whose honest forthright flavours he seeks to nurture and enhance without resorting to fancy frills. Examples range from a soufflé of powerful langoustine to wafer-thin slices of flawlessly fresh scallops enhanced by a subtle grapefruit, lemon and spicy dressing. Treat yourself to a slap-up meal as you enjoy the friendly, down-to-earth atmosphere.
