At Le Local, the cooking is done with passion and honesty. We want to provide our customers with quality products and, thus we are particularly attentive and strict in sourcing our raw products as well as the way they are cooked. We work with 100% natural products without taste additives. We value seasonality above all else, it is a driving force that propels us to rethink traditional conservation methods. Don't be surprised if you don't find fresh tomatoes or cucumbers in winter, we've preserved them for you in cans or pickles!

LOCAL PRODUCTS AND SHORT FOOD SUPPLY CHAINS

80% of the products we’re cooking with come from local farms and within a short distance. This way, we want to give back value to the products and promote the Belgian terroir, while paying farmers the right price.

ORGANIC OR SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE

We choose our producers mindfully to provide our customers with organic or sustainable food. Animal products are sourced from respectful farming and sustainable fishing. This commitment is also reflected in the presence of gourmet and balanced vegetarian alternatives in our menu.

FAIR TRADE

Unfortunately some products have to be sourced from far away sources. For these products from distant countries (coffee, chocolate, tea, etc.) we prefer fair trade products.

ZERO WASTE KITCHEN

We work with respect and follow a zero waste philosophy, limiting food waste and finding creative way to utilise what others would throw away. We also offer a smaller versions of our dishes (at half price) for children between 4 and 10 years old.

SORTING, COMPOSTING AND REUSE

We sort our food waste and give our compost to our producers. We limit packaging and offer "Rest-o-pack", a compostable doggy bag that allows you to bring at home what you did not finish in the restaurant. Finally, we aim to reduce energy consumption (water and electricity).
