Special thanks go to Chef Archibald, Commis Thibaut, Coach Lode De Roover, and all others who contributed to our Belgian team. Many thanks to the organizers for these memorable days!
Exquis with Viki Geunes & Arnaud Donckele
Reminiscing about the unforgettable evening of Sunday, February 25th, where culinary magic filled the air as Chef Arnaud Donckele joined us for an extraordinary “Exquis” Four Hands Dinner.
It was an absolute honour to welcome Chef Donckele to our Zilte family and the synergy between him and our very own Chef Viki was wonderful.
The inspiration behind this collaboration came from Chef Viki’s treasured experiences in Hotel Cheval Blanc in Saint-Tropez and Paris, where a friendship with Chef Donckele was born.
Thanks a million to Arnaud and his talented team for sharing their expertise, passion, and creativity with us. And to our guests who joined us on this culinary adventure, thank you for your support and enthusiasm!
