Resumo

The Kolonel Begaultlaan in Leuven, Belgium, is a straight, dull road, running parallel to a canal. Just across is Stella Artois—a huge industrial complex, where one of the most internationally successful lagers is brewed. Number 15, Kolonel Begaultlaan, is a building as non-descript as the road. After entering and climbing some stairs, you will find yourself in a low-ceilinged hallway leading to a room that resembles a multi-story car park. In one corner, a wall opens to a passage. The passage is painted black. Large candles show the way. Behind a wooden door at the end of the passage is Luzine, the restaurant of Joeren Meus, a Belgian cook with his own TV show—some call him the Jamie Oliver of Flanders. Luzine presents itself in the Boudoir style: luscious, decadent, grey, black, gold, and subdued lights. On the occasion I went there, the food was marvelous, my company was splendid, and the whole evening was a true success. However, what especially struck me and what I kept in mind, was the stark contrast between the actual interior of the restaurant and its environment.
