The interior of this lively establishment resembles a classroom. This is not surprising, as the building used to be a domestic science school. Today, you can observe chef Iwan preparing his French-Belgian classics in the open kitchen. He has excellent product knowledge and incorporates a nod to Flemish cuisine in his straightforward dishes. Whether he's serving crispy croquettes with a creamy stew filling and a crunchy salad, or roasting a juicy spring chicken and drizzling the rich gravy over the braised savoy cabbage underneath, at Rijsel everything revolves around an evening of cosy feasting.
