Opwijk (Mazenzele), Belgium
Brun
In the Flemish Brabant village of Mazenzele, Brun takes a sharing-format approach in which locally grown and organic vegetables hold equal footing with meat and fish. Chef Stefan De Bruyne builds the menu around seasonal produce sourced close to the restaurant, a model that has drawn recognition from sustainability-focused food critics. For travellers willing to leave Brussels behind, Brun offers a quieter, produce-driven alternative to the region's more formal dining rooms.
