The concept is simple and effective: nine leading chefs, each behind their counter, offer a <strong>Signature dish at a fixed price<\/strong> \u2013 16 euros \u2013 which visitors collect themselves before taking a seat as they wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Plaza is located within a large marquee and an adjoining terrace, for a total of 350 seats. In the centre, a central bar serves drinks. You choose your chef, place your order, and then take your seat. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, and the quality of the food is what you would expect from Les Epicuriales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nine chefs, nine signature dishes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Plaza's chefs are selected from the region's most renowned establishments, <strong>listed on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gaultmillau.be\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gault&amp;Millau<\/a><\/strong>.
