Le Coq aux Champs, a restaurant in Soheit-Tinlot, Belgium celebrated its 20th anniversary this week.
Christophe and Catherine Pauly said that despite the fact that many of their dreams have come true from a Michelin star to the title of Gault&Millau chef of the year, the publication of a recipe book, 4 hands dinners with exceptional chefs and many other achievements they still have the same feeling of the first day which is that “we still have a lot to do.”
Over the past 20 years and 7,300 days they have been open for more than 10,000 services. “Our objective has remained the same which is to share our love of gastronomy, good food and exceptional produce. We want to constantly challenge ourselves, be creative and give our guests a great time during a dinner or an evening out,” they said.
They said that their motivation and ‘fire’ remains intact from the day they started and they look forward to another 20 years. “We are more mature, have a greater knowledge of who we are. This is reflected in our cuisine which now has a strong identity, accompanied by a certain audacity. We dare, always driven by the desire to surprise our guests, while keeping our classics.”
On Sunday, Christophe Pauly will welcome Cyril Molard, chef of restaurant Ma Langue Sourit in Montfort, Luxembourg for a 20 year celebration. This will be a four hands dinner in a series started a few years ago called Round Trip.
