Food Scene

Superbe Italian resto in the hart of Bruxelles Our adventure began a few years ago when we started importing carefully selected Italian wines and selling them to friends during organised wine tastings. After two years, it was clear to us that we had to go further. The Winehouse Osteria project was born in 2013 and its main objective was to create a point of sale for our growing clientele as well as a new and excellent way to bring our wines to the tables of the Belgian Winemakers. Today, we invite you to discover traditional Italian and fine wines in a friendly atmosphere and the beautiful setting of a historical building built by a Flemish architect to honour his wife in 1940.

Passion for French Fries OUR HISTORY Inspired by the infinite diversity of the potato and out of love for food and crafts, Frites Atelier was created with one goal: to prepare you beautiful and tasty fries with sensational toppings! In our eyes, nothing beats a tasty French fry with a matching sauce. After more than 18 months of testing different types of potatoes, soil types and other elements in the process of making a good French fry, the time had finally come. The Hague had the scoop in 2016: the opening of the first Frites Atelier was a fact, after which other sites were created.
