RESTAURANT RALF BERENDSEN**
A never-ending quest for perfection
Head chef Ralf Berendsen creates new dishes with the reserves of creative talent he has been saving up over the past months. Now, more than ever, he is committed to honouring the individuality of classic products such as scallops, langoustines, pigeon, Bresse duck or Wagyu beef. Famous for his unique sense of meticulous cooking times, he achieves the perfect harmony of flavour, succulence and temperature.
Ralf is also a qualified baker/pastry chef and creates an equally enticing selection of nostalgic desserts based on traditional French techniques, supported by a young team whose dedication to cooking transcends taste and fully embraces the emotional side of food.

Nothing on the plate is left to chance!
"For me, the profession of cooking is the most amazing thing in the world, provided you can work in an environment that allows you to turn your know-how and creativity into dishes that will thrill your guests. Restaurant Ralf Berendsen provides me with the ideal environment to achieve that."

Le Ciel
Global influences
"Franco-Belgian cuisine with global influences translated into dishes that are accessible and surprising." That’s 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 made into jewellery by Jochen Leën. They are all natural and sophisticated references to our earth, whose distinctive presence permeates deep within La Butte aux Bois.
Of course, weather permitting, you can also enjoy our open-air set-up with the new outdoor bar. The terrace, surrounded by greenery, is the ultimate spot for enjoying a cocktail or classic gin and tonic.
