UNBELIEVABLE lunch at this 3 MICHELIN STAR restaurant (€295) - Boury

[@alexandertheguest]

I’ve been away for a while, and for a good reason! You suggested tons of great restaurants, and I’ve been busy checking many of them. I already visited Alchemist, Frantzén, Noma and DiverXO, so stay tuned, videos are on the way! Make sure to hit subscribe, so you don't miss any of them!

[@DigyWithDukeDennisAura]

Im excited!

[@thomasandersen802]

Looking forward to your review of the alchemist, looks very interesting:)

[@toniownez]

@@thomasandersen802 Alchemist is more like an art gallery rather than a restaurant. Very interesting indeed.

[@thomasandersen802]

Then i hope to see some of that too, only seen shorter reviews picturing the infamous tongue-dish and so on;)

[@GuilhermePereira-ru9hr]

@alexandertheguest Please go to Schanz, in Rheinland-Pfalz! The Chef of the place is Thomas Schanz ! Please consider this option, thank you!

[@vascovalente3929]

Its good to see that this channel blurrs the other patrons faces. Something a lot of other channels dedicated to evaluating premium services don´t do. Kudos !

[@lisa07062000]

Boury is in my opinion the best of the Belgian 3 stars, yet it might be the most underappreciated, due to it's location and new status as top notch restaurant. Great to see you visit it!

[@dirkbulinckx9974]

There are others (with less stars) in Belgium that are better. Try L'Air Du Temps (*only* 2 stars)

[@longbrechi]

I agree, l’air du temps is amazing !!!

[@schunka1051]

well they are for sure not underappreciating themselves with those prices

[@zes3813]

295€ for a 3 star michelin... it's a gift ​@@schunka1051

[@VeryEvilGM]

Thanks for the English subtitles!

[@basedyapper]

Ngl this is the most food I've seen a michelin star restaurant offer and for quite a decent price as well in terms of other restaurants.

[@HassanSafdar97]

Not going to lie the portions of this 3 Michelin star restaurant are pretty big. The dishes look so tasty. I have to try this if I ever swing by Europe in the future.

[@Mallocake]

It depends on the restaurant, but I did an internship at Boury and Tim always made sure there was enough food on eah dish/course. You shouldn't leave the restaurant hungry ;-)

Glad you enjoyed your time in Belgium! I hope you keep making these amazing videos forever, thank you Alexander!

[@BenderMAgames]

Alexander, i am so glad you made it to Belgium to try this awesome restaurant. I have done the interior decoration for restaurant Oud Sluis and Pure C from Sergio Herman, years ago. I can see that Inge did a wonderfull job with the garden, it looks stunning! I really have to go and see this myself now. Thx for this awesome video.

This is one of my favorite reviews. I love their creativity and presentation of their beautiful dishes and not too much overuse of caviar (as in many other places you've visited).

[@Hadewychable]

Thank you Alexander for this amazing ***star Boury restaurant experience sharing with us. Inge and Tim and the whole Boury team are all amazing. They renewed their 3 Michelin stars this very day, thanks to happy and satisfied guests all over the world , enjoying their art and passion.

[@sergiojippys3838]

Proud to be a belgian💯💯💯❤️❤️thanks Alexander🎉🎉

[@mommakittyhiking]

How fun to see Bonny Doon Vineyard as a wine choice. I've lived down the road from that winery for 30 years and they've always made really interesting and exciting wines. If I had one last glass of wine before I died it would be another Santa Cruz wine, Storrs Chardonnay.

[@shadowfilm7980]

Alexander, I have to say, of all the videos I have watched from you at some truly amazing restaurants, I absolutely LOVE this one! Everything was so nice! Beautiful too. So much incredible “eye candy”. The garden outside was so nice. Loved the pure design of that one area where they prepared things. It had an angular metal overhang. So cool. Then the service looked absolutely impeccable! They were friendly too. Not snobby. The food looks SO perfect! I mean every dish they served you was to absolute perfection! Works of individual art! Really! So detailed. So amazingly beautiful. It’s sad in a way to have to destroy those works of art with your fork/spoon! I will absolutely make a note of this restaurant! Thank you! Your videos are amazing! So well done! Best!

[@dirkbulinckx9974]

As a "normal" guest the service is different......

[@kevinh3979]

One thing I'd be interested to know is how much of your experience is a typical experience, vs them rolling out the red carpet for a VIP

[@dirkbulinckx9974]

Indeed Alexander gets a different experience vs joe average....(Went to Boury and they acted 100% differently)

[@ლუკა-ჩ4ე]

@@dirkbulinckx9974 what was it like for you, if you wouldn't mind sharing?

[@dirkbulinckx9974]

@@ლუკა-ჩ4ე food was good but not top compared to other Michelin star restaurants (there are several 1 and 2 stars that are at least for me better). It felt like they were operating like robots, not much interaction with the guests. (again compared to other restaurants).

[@ლუკა-ჩ4ე]

@@dirkbulinckx9974 ah that's interesting to hear. As someone who never has (and likely never will) dined at restaurants like this, the fairy-tale service, food, and environment, set my expectation to that of royal hospitality for every customer. So essentially most people don't get a course delivered by the head chef, or visits to the kitchen? Strange that even at this level of luxury there is a distinction between the haves and have-nots.

[@dirkbulinckx9974]

@@ლუკა-ჩ4ე in a lot of the Michelin restaurants the chef will do "something", it could be delivering a course or explaining the menu or asking at the end how it was. After around 30 Michelin restaurants (mix of 1/2/3-stars) I had once the maitre that showed the kitchen and explained some parts of it (that was in the 1-star Lido84). In Hisa-Franko (2-star when I went - 3 stars a few days later) we had a chat with Ana (the "official" chef) when we arrived at the hotel part of Hisa Franko, and with the actual chef when we left the hotel. Often in the 3 stars the "official" chef is not even in the restaurant/kitchen. For example if you take all the "Robuchon" restaurants (ranging from 1 to 3 stars) the named-chef (Robuchon) is even dead, and the name of the actual chef is less known. My experience is that in a 1-star restaurant you can get top food and a top experience IF the owners are still part of the actual staff. When selecting the restaurant(s) were I go, I do try to find these.

I'm from Belgium and I'm surprised you didn't go to Hof Van Cleve. Peter Goossens is often called the grandfather of the Belgian gastronomy. The menu never seemed mind-blowing so I'm excited what you'd think of it.

ive been there and in my experience it was the biggest scam ever. food was meh for 3 stars. 1 star meaby 2 and overpriced af. some dishes were not even good. gotta say that the pastry and bread is the best i ever had. nothing comes close. but the rest was underwelming

[@Hollis_has_questions]

If it's Belgium, I think of Moules-frites! And although your meal didn't have much in the way of potato, the seafood choices more than made up for it. Everything was, of course, beautiful to look at. The setting is sublime. Most of all, you seem to enjoy the well-choreographed meal. And the wines to go alongside. 😊

[@ronaldbibi209]

Love the vibes of the place and that JMM sunglasses is so beautiful!

[@Bosshog-WealthHealthBetterment]

I thought it looked fabbed, and if I'm paying 100 per star (which to me is the right sort of region at 295), I want these great ingredients, presented well and cleverly, and I think you got exactly that. I really enjoy your channel, keep up the great work.

[@DriesVercauteren]

Thank you Alexander for putting Belgium on the map, and yes, Boury is probably the best choice you could make in our current offer of lovely fine dining places.

[@diana_jurado]

Excellent as always 💯

[@noholds0318]

The Franz Keller Oberrotweil Spätburgunder is a village level wine that you can find for

[@fabiankaisen5977]

Same for the dessert wine; I would have expected at least the Château Rieussec, not their 2nd wine. You can get a bottle of 2016 Carmes de Rieussec for 30-40€.

[@noholds0318]

So I looked up all of the rest that were shown: The Crystallum Chardonnay can found for 18€. The Bonny Doon rosé is ~25€ for the current vintage. The Mas d'en Gil is 20€. The Orvieto is 22€. The main course CdR, which is also village level, can be found for 17€. (Funnily enough the beer is also around 30€). Not to dunk on any of these, they are probably great wines, punching above their weight. I would be happy with any of these at home. And they were probably good matches for the dishes. But at a price point of a 130 for the pairing, I would expect one or two 1er or GC level wines in the mix.

[@daee456]

The place is top, service, the staff and the owners. Wow, just amazing. Hope to eat threre soon.

[@anzesuhadolc2405]

I reccommend visiting Hiša Franko in Slovenia in Kobarid. It just got 3 Michelin stars about a month ago

[@dirkbulinckx9974]

And they take more "risks" in what they serve, compared to Boury. Boury is (like other 3 stars I went too) fixed on their menu and something looks like a factory in the kitchen. Hisa Franko is much better...... (went to them 5 days before they got the 3rd star)

[@xcarter_carsx2848]

This place seems like a home run, the outdoor garden and clean vibe.

omg he actually called the dish "something - kalamata olive"?? Dude i loved eating those, thankfully i used to live fairly close, and they were cheap af, haven't had them olives in a while though. firm but also soft, easy to eat, without any weird lumps and a great punch of vinegar. Great texture, if not for the heavy impact of vinegar, i could eat a whole plate of those lil things. They tasted so good i'd just grab some bread dip it on meat/salad juice or whatever and add an olive on it. Simple yet extremely tasty!
