Housed in a former domestic science school, Rijsel blends old-school charm with modern energy. The bright, classroom-like interior sets the stage for an evening that’s all about good food and warm hospitality. From the open kitchen, the chefs prepare refined yet down-to-earth French-Flemish classics, crafted with seasonal ingredients and a deep respect for quality produce.

At Rijsel, everything revolves around the joy of sharing a delicious meal. The kitchen team works in perfect harmony, creating dishes that are honest, flavorful, and free from unnecessary frills. Expect rotating menus that feature meat, fish, and vegetarian options — always inspired by the season. To finish, there’s a tempting selection of desserts that change just as often.

Rijsel’s wine list deserves special mention: an impressive selection of Old World wines and natural wines, thoughtfully chosen to complement the menu.
