Seasonal Barbecue
The wood-smoke hits you before you reach the table, which tells you most of what you need to know about Ember. This set-menu restaurant in Mechelen is built around live fire and grilling, with produce from the kitchen garden pulling serious weight alongside the meat. The team runs a zero-waste kitchen, and the cooking leans acidic and a little unpredictable in the best way. The non-alcoholic pairings are a genuine reason to skip the wine list.
