Dolce La Hulpe Brussels – The tasty cuisine of Grégory Vandenborre at “Argan” – LUXE.TV

Gourmet break at Argan, the restaurant at Dolce 
by Wyndham La Hulpe Brussels, This eco-friendly resort that offers stays in the fresh air. Whether for a gastronomic stopover or for a long weekend, Disconnection is guaranteed 
in the heart of the Sonian forest. Dressed all in green, the Argan restaurant 
plunges us into a contemporary atmosphere that   Pays homage to the nature that welcomes it. Here, everything echoes plants: Veined marble tables, seasoned parquet, warm fabric that
covers the walls and custom light installations. Without forgetting the huge bay windows which 
allow complete immersion in the foliage   Of these hundred-year-old trees of one of 
the most beautiful forests in Belgium…  For this restaurant in the middle of nature, the 
young and dynamic Chef Grégory Vandenborre Has concocted a rich and tasty menu in which cultures 
meet to stimulate discovery and inspire travel.   All with this splendid view of the immensity 
of a forest which is part of UNESCO heritage.  The concept ? Accessible all day, a 
1000 m2 restaurant with an open kitchen   Where everything is bet on the honesty 
of an attractive table and good products,   In a continuation of the 
services offered at the hotel. The restaurant is a restaurant 
that is open all day.  The idea is to offer a cuisine 
that appeals to everyone and that is simple,   Where everyone can find what they are looking 
for. So, there you go, you can find a pasta   Dish just like a hamburger or that kind of thing. And the idea is to respect the place in which we evolve. So there you have it, 
respecting the seasons, respecting the product. On the menu, refreshing recipes
that satisfy hungry palates After bike tours and long walks in the Sonian forest. Whether at the buffet, 
with its all-inclusive formula, or à la carte… On this beautiful seasonal 
menu, we discover, for example,   According to the chef’s inspiration, 
tartares or revisited pasta dishes,   Melting as one pleases, whose setting 
Grégory Vandenborre reveals to us live… We work on a bit of everything, because I think 
we have a somewhat international clientele,   And that inevitably, we have to look a 
little wider. When the brewery reopens,   We will cook a little more locally. For the 
moment, at the Argan, we are concentrating   On things that come from everywhere. And 
then there you go, we try to be original,   But by doing things that are 
simple and tasty at the same time. Summer and autumn, on sunny days, you can 
also enjoy the splendid terrace of the Argan,   On a wooden floor, with trees and 
moving nature as a backdrop… 

In terms of drinks, there are also some great 
discoveries to be made, at the restaurant bar,   A major piece of the decor, 
which cannot be forgotten. So the story is that, since we reopened the 
Argan, which we renovated, the goal was to   Integrate as much as possible -apart from the 
beers of course, which are essentially Belgian-,   But to also include all that is alcohol or 
local fruit juice. So notably ”Bionina”,   ”Simone is thirsty”; in terms of wines, we 
have integrated a wine estate, so ”Le Chenoy”,   The Domaine du Chenoy, which is 
near Namur. In terms of alcohol,   We work with Begian Owl. And with the Biercée 
distillery. So that is our main alcohol, gin,   Which is the best-selling alcohol and the 
best-selling cocktail, where we have both   Belgian products and non-alcoholic products 
as well, which are also Belgian products. After a night spent at the hotel, it is 
also facing the forest that we will enjoy   A hearty and delicious buffet 
breakfast the next morning.  Everything is generous: pastries, 
fresh breads and rolls…  Abundance of hard and soft cheeses, 
cured meats and charcuterie…  Not to mention all the variations of the 
dishes you love, whatever your nationality…  At the hot buffet, between 
sausages and beans in tomato sauce,   It benefits from the know-how of the chef and 
his acolytes, to make us the ideal omelet,   Or any egg-based recipe that makes 
us happy for a good start to the day…  From morning until night, at any time of the 
day, the Argan culinary experience is a must try!
