A journey in four acts
01
The welcome experience
From the moment you arrive, culinaria redefines expectations. Rob, The Gourmet’s Market, closed to the public, transforms into the stage for a private and unexpected experience. Far from the usual store ambiance, a carefully designed atmosphere takes over: dim lighting, a refined setting, and meticulous details. You are welcomed with a glass of Perrier-Jouët Champagne or a signature non-alcoholic cocktail by Maison Perrier. A first taste of an evening where every element is designed to awaken your senses. A question quickly arises: Where are we really? That’s when the magic begins...
02
The aperitif market experience
Guided toward the unexpected, you leave the intimate ambiance of the ground floor and enter an entirely different world. Welcome to a reimagined gourmet market. Here, craftsmen present a curated selection of exceptional products, elegantly arranged on a tasting board—freshly prepared based on the inspiration of the moment. A dedicated bar enhances the experience, offering perfectly paired food and drink combinations. A gourmet and convivial moment in an elegant yet warm atmosphere.

The fine dining Experience by S.Pellegrino
Comfortably seated at your table, you are invited to a gastronomic experience where excellence reigns.

The chefs
A signature experience.

For this new edition, culinaria is pushing the boundaries of gastronomy by bringing together three resident chefs, icons of Belgian culinary excellence and long-time friends.
Much like top clubs feature resident DJs, culinaria welcomes renowned chefs who will shape each evening in their image.

Christophe Hardiquest, the soul of Brussels, blending tradition and evolution.
San Degeimbre, the essence of Wallonia, a fusion of terroir and Asian inspirations.
Willem Hiele, the raw spirit of Flanders, instinctive and deeply connected to nature.

Each night, the culinary experience will be led by a unique combination of chefs. When the resident chefs are unavailable, they will personally select their replacements—ensuring the experience remains at the highest level with emerging talents and renowned figures of the culinary world. This dynamic guarantees a constantly evolving gastronomic experience.
Welcome to a kitchen in motion, where excellence meets audacity.
Christophe Hardiquest
Heritage and Transmission at the Heart of His Cuisine
Christophe Hardiquest is more than a talented chef; he is a passionate mentor and storyteller. Formerly the two-Michelin-starred chef of Bon Bon, he infused a modern vision into Belgian gastronomy while staying true to its rich heritage. After this highly acclaimed chapter, he chose to explore a new culinary vision by opening Menssa, a restaurant where conviviality and exchange take center stage.

He defines himself as a chef in search of essence: the essence of an ingredient, a memory, a gesture. Generous and approachable, he is committed to passing on his knowledge to new generations, training and inspiring young talents in his kitchens. For Christophe, every dish tells a story, an emotion, a moment in life.
San Degeimbre
Precision, Emotion, and Commitment
San Degeimbre is not just a two-Michelin-starred chef at L’Air du Temps; he is a creator of connections. Born in South Korea and adopted by a Belgian family, his unique journey led him to explore culinary horizons where Walloon terroir meets Asian influences.

A man of strong values, he champions sustainable cuisine, respectful of both the environment and the producers he works with. His nurturing gardens, zero-waste philosophy, and dedication to local sourcing are key pillars of his culinary identity. Beyond his impeccable technique, San is a deeply human figure—always listening, learning, and sharing. For him, gastronomy is a universal language, where every meal is an opportunity for connection and exchange.
Willem Hiele
Instinct and Emotion in Every Bite
Willem Hiele is a chef driven by instinct and emotion, telling stories of the sea and the land, of heritage and freedom through his cuisine. Coming from a family of fishermen, he grew up with the tides as his only guide, developing an intimate connection with nature and raw ingredients.

Originally a baker, he later found his true calling in cooking, shaping a cuisine that is earthy, intuitive, and deeply rooted in Flemish terroir. At Willem Hiele Restaurant, dining is not just about eating; it is about living an experience. Behind his beard and intense gaze lies a chef of rare sensitivity, who cooks with as much emotion as precision. Generous, sincere, and close to his team, he brings a unique energy to every service, turning a simple dinner into a vibrant and unforgettable moment.
