La Paix is temporarily closed. After more than 140 years, this Brussels institution is leaving its iconic corner building opposite the Anderlecht slaughterhouses. David Martin and his team are taking the next step in their evolution, soon to set up in the luxury Corinthia Grand Hotel Astoria Brussels—a remarkable venue where history, charm, and a romantic Belle Époque atmosphere blend seamlessly. The chef promises to remain true to his culinary style: a fusion of French tradition and Japanese purity, united through his own unique creativity and often featuring top-tier seafood. For years, we have concluded our description of La Paix by noting that this chef has real character and constantly reinvents himself – something he proves once again today.
