Correspondance is San Degeimbre's ambitious brasserie concept in the historic Tour & Taxis hub, split into two distinct experiences: the casual Living Room and the refined Dining Room. The real magic happens at the mezzanine counter overlooking the open kitchen, where you'll find Degeimbre's playful fusion of Belgian, Peruvian, and Asian flavors. Skip the basic dishes and go straight for the signature sweetbread and langoustine or the waterzooi with a yuzu kick.
Bold fusion in a post-industrial setting
Correspondance brings San Degeimbre's bold vision to life in the post-industrial setting of Tour & Taxis. The restaurant cleverly divides into two spaces: The Living Room for casual socializing and The Dining Room for a more refined experience. What sets this place apart is the mezzanine counter that wraps around the open kitchen, giving you a front-row seat to the culinary action.
The menu is where Degeimbre truly shines, blending Belgian classics with Peruvian and Asian influences in ways that feel fresh rather than forced. The waterzooi gets a yuzu twist that brightens the traditional dish, while the duck magret comes with an orange-soy-garlic sauce that's genuinely memorable. The sweetbread and langoustine dish is the standout—a heroic combination that showcases the chef's technical skill and creativity.
Service is attentive without being fussy, and the industrial-chic space feels both sophisticated and approachable. It's not cheap, but the quality and creativity justify the price. Book the counter seats if you can—they're the best spot in the house.
