Kimchi, chili peppers, sesame seeds and ponzu sauce – plus your choice of chopsticks or western cutlery, it’s up to you: the fusion experience from David Copmans (Osaka) and chef Ana Boznar (ex-AirRepublic) rides the pan-Asian culinary wave on Muntplein square. Seated at one of the small tables in a space done up with plenty of concrete, or on the incredible sunny terrace, you place your order online – a sophisticated system, certainly, but we still prefer a more personalized touch. On our shared plates (which can also be ordered as individual portions): broccolini grilled over the embers and served with kimchi mayonnaise; sticky BXL sprouts in a sweet and sour glaze, sprinkled in peanuts and katsuobushi; incredibly fresh cucumber and sesame salad; iconic dan dan noodles; or even a bowl of rice with pork belly – that could have used a touch more kimchi… // Janjan Bon

FEELING THIRSTY? Strong cocktails (pisco, argousier, shiso, €12.50) and just the kind of wines we like, like Fleur d’Or, an Alsatian white from André Kleinknecht (€6.50 a glass) or Zmeurica, a red for €44, along with a Cava-mino served by the glass (€7).
