One Star: High quality cooking
Ogst is the epitome of charming. A natural, Scandinavian-inspired decor sets the warm, casual scene in which you instantly feel at home. Sébastien Wygaerts bowls us over with fresh produce and attention to detail, depicted by elegant plating, cleverly devised recipes and gutsy flavours. This modern chef plays with fresh and acidic nuances, including the occasional exotic flavour. For example, he will craft scallops with a subtle soy, mirin and sudachi vinaigrette, while segments of mandarin contrast happily with the vinaigrette and dill adds a spicy note. Subtle before all else, the chef seeks to reinforce the character of a fillet of beef with a madeira sauce. He manages to keep our tastebuds aching for more throughout the meal. The cherry on the cake is provided by Diederik Herbots, an unabashed fan of natural wines, whose amazing Aladdin’s Cave of wine adds the final flourish to a knockout meal. Don’t miss a trip to the delicatessen (two steps from the restaurant) to stock up on delicacies on your way out.
