Château Neercanne

"This terraced castle is full of character and historical charm. From the herringbone parquet flooring to the impressive chandeliers, this place is a classic restaurant at heart. The views over the Baroque gardens and the Jeker Valley are simply stunning! An aperitif or coffee in the historical Marl Caves is an experience in itself.  With a feel for the zeitgeist, Robert Levels breathes new life into French classics. Vegetables are harvested from his own garden (an appealing vegetarian set menu is available), and the sauces are always outstanding. A masterpiece in its own right, his foie gras terrine is served with a compote that provides a refreshing sweetness, along with a rich veal jus vinaigrette. His jus made from seasonal vegetables lends depth to the crispy blade steak. Chef Levels tempers the intense flavours of classical cuisine with exciting exotic touches, giving vegetables the attention they deserve and focusing on palatability. A castle fairy tale par excellence!" - Michelin Inspector
