Apéritif Restaurant is set to host an exclusive one-night-only dining experience, reuniting. Executive Chef Nic Vanderbeeken with his former mentor, Chef David Selen, of Restaurant Improviste in Belgium. This special collaboration is a tribute to mentorship, innovation, and the evolution of fine dining, presented through a meticulously crafted tasting menu that seamlessly blends classical European techniques with contemporary creativity.

Chef Nic’s culinary journey began under Chef David’s guidance at his first Michelin-starred restaurant in 2003, where he honed his skills under the mentorship of a chef known for his improvisational style and instinct for innovation. Chef David, whose passion for cooking was sparked in his aunt’s village restaurant, built his career on creativity - crafting ever-evolving menus that highlight fresh, seasonal ingredients while rejecting routine in favor of spontaneity. From an eager apprentice to a sous chef in renowned kitchens, he eventually established his own acclaimed restaurants, always driven by a dedication to surprise and inspire.

Now, two decades later, the two chefs reunite on Friday, 18 April 2025, from 5:30 PM, bringing their shared history full circle. Together, they will present a limited-time tasting menu that reflects their journey - from apprentice and mentor to equal creators in the art of haute cuisine. The result is an exclusive dining experience that blends heritage, expertise, and a flair for surprise.

 

 

This special evening invites gastronomy enthusiasts, loyal patrons, and fine-dining connoisseurs to witness the magic of two visionary chefs coming together to create something truly extraordinary. Spaces are limited - reserve your table now to experience a culinary moment where past, present, and future excellence converge on one plate.
