The story
In Roeselare, Belgium, chef Tim Boury runs a restaurant that has earned the highest recognition in the culinary world: three Michelin stars. This is a place where the pursuit of consistent, exceptional quality is not just a goal but a daily practice.
The dining experience at Boury is built on precise, modern French cuisine that lets the ingredients speak. The menu changes with the seasons, offering a carefully composed tasting journey. A current highlight is the "Boury 15th Anniversary Menu," a celebratory series of dishes that might include bluefin tuna with daikon and horseradish, or a combination of Oosterschelde lobster with nduja, Roscoff onion, and peas. Signature ingredients like Osciètre Prestige caviar appear in multiple preparations, often paired with local touches such as Bonnotte potatoes, crab, and shrimp in a vin jaune sauce.
For those who prefer a shorter meal, the "Boury Prélude" is a five-course lunch menu, chosen daily by the chef. A la carte dining is available at lunch and on select evenings, featuring dishes from roasted turbot with lamb's ear and asparagus to a classic wagyu filet with shallots and beef-fat fries. The kitchen also offers vegetarian options that follow the seasonal supply.
The wine list is curated with care. Sommeliers suggest pairings for each course, and guests can also choose a non-alcoholic pairing where fruits, herbs, and vegetables are transformed into both sparkling and still beverages. The team’s dedication extends beyond the plate—the front-of-house staff wears bespoke evening wear from Oni Onik, reflecting the restaurant’s attention to detail in every aspect.
Boury’s three Michelin stars are a testament to this relentless pursuit of excellence. The restaurant’s partnerships with brands like BMW and Jules & Fils underscore a shared philosophy of craftsmanship and innovation. Whether dining in the elegant main room or, weather permitting, on the terrace for an aperitif or coffee, the experience is one of warmth and precision.
