On July 29, 2014, we opened Emily Ristorante, a restaurant-gem draped in marble and gold leaf, a restaurant tailor-made for Emily Degand.
It is an elegant and gourmet destination. You will see a 5.5 meter long chandelier spanning the floors, a bar counter made of black marble veined with gold and ceilings adorned with gold leaf.
This house located at 4 rue de l'Abbaye, neighboring Maison Degand, was once a bakery.
Tailor Pierre Degand completely transformed it.
Upon entry, a classy bar extends its seats. An intimate space accommodates the only table on the ground floor.
The first floor, cozy and warm, favors noble materials at the top of a slightly steep staircase. The second floor has a private lounge, and under the rooftops, a luxurious guest room is set up.
In 2015, the restaurant was managed by the Litvine family under the name Villa Emily. Today, after 8 years, the Degand family has taken back management of the restaurant.
Indeed, Brussels' esteemed gastronomic establishment "Emily" is returning to the hands of Pierre Degand.
This change sets off a series of transformations, including the introduction of a new chef and a fresh name for the establishment, starting in fall 2023.
