The restaurant began a period of prosperity when the World's Fair turned Brussels into the center of the world for six months in 1958.
Jacques Veulemans founded a **Belgian-style tapas bar**, where the entire city of Brussels would meet for a drink and to enjoy small servings of the restaurant's classic fare.
The restaurant's prosperous period, which lasted two decades, contributed to the festive reputation of the Ilot Sacré, the capital's top destination for fine cuisine.
The restaurant serves **fine regional fare**, including **mussels**, and offers dishes such as creamy oyster soup, duck breast with mango compote, and roasted half lobster with garlic and ginger butter.
The restaurant's philosophy is that **life is a celebration**, and they devote themselves to making it one to remember, providing an elegant and festive atmosphere for their customers.
