Hidden in the Belgian city of Tienen lies a gastronomic gem: restaurant Fidalgo. Here, owner and top chef Filip Dewijnants leads the kitchen. His dishes are wonderfully complemented by sommelier Christel Steenwegen’s excellent wine list. Filip’s refined and inventive nouveau French-Belgian cuisine surely hasn’t gone unnoticed: Fidalgo, which happens to be his former parental home, scored 89/100 in the Lemaire guide, 15/20 Gault Millau points, and was named "Grand des Demain" by Gault Millau in 2020. No wonder that food connoisseurs from far and wide travel to experience his renowned haute cuisine for themselves. Fidalgo is the perfect place for fine-dining in a romantic setting. Both the dining room and the private area feel homely and relaxed, and the large windows offer a beautiful view of the patio and spacious terraced garden. It’s hard to imagine a better backdrop for chef Filip’s sophisticated dishes.
