More than ever, he is dedicated to honoring the individuality of classic ingredients such as scallops, langoustines, pigeons or Wagyu beef. Known for his unique sense of perfect cooking times, he achieves absolute harmony in taste, juiciness and temperature perception.

Bistrôt Le Ciel
"A Franco-Belgian cuisine with global influences translated into dishes that are accessible and surprising." This is how Chef Pieter Beurskens describes Le Ciel's cuisine. The transparent interior features a subtropical tree that highlights the wealth of decorative objects in the space: ammolites, gogottes, crystals, minerals, petrified wood and gemstones. They are all natural and refined references to our earth, whose distinctive presence permeates deep into La Butte aux Bois.
