VerTige’s Best Restaurant Will Close in September: ‘It’s Time for Something New’

However, the closure is not the result of financial problems, as Chef Kevin Berlot explains. “There is certainly no bankruptcy or a split in the team. The team just wants to get busy with new projects. For example, I will now work as a consultant for other major restaurants in Brussels for a while and I hope to open my own restaurant.” The business is long-term.

However, the restaurant has been praised for its approach as a “veggie restaurant”, and was ranked 65th among the best veggie restaurants in October 2023, a list compiled by sustainability consultancy We’re Smart® World.

VerTige debuted at Saint Brussel, the restaurant of chef Sang Hoon Degember, which opened in the summer of 2020. The focus was on “taste and precision in a warm and cozy atmosphere” as well as “nature, sustainability and a minimal CO2 footprint,” the website says.

In addition to the fully vegetarian menu, the restaurant also offers a non-vegetarian option, but even there “vegetables are still the foundation and the biggest thing,” a restaurant spokesperson told us last year. prominence.

There is nothing special planned for the last month. “We are still finalizing our latest menu,” says Perlo. “We will close this period quietly.”
