Outer, Belgium
Oltra
In the village of Outer, whose Latin name Oltra the restaurant borrows, a youthful team serves creatively twisted Gallic cooking from a space framed by old church tiles and wrought-iron detail. Front-of-house Iwert pairs wine guidance with the relaxed energy of a room that takes food seriously without taking itself too seriously. Chef Jonathan's market-sourced plates draw on lemongrass, horseradish, and vinegar to push familiar French foundations into unexpected territory.
