Around 9 p.m., we discover the brightly decorated dining room to enjoy the main dish and some good wines, a real sensory experience. This great cultural wealth will end, of course, by a dessert, followed by a cup of tea or coffee.

Last year, two Ambassadors took part at the “L’amour food”‘s dinners, celebrating the glorious food of their own countries, prepared with love by some great master chefs.

To offer you the best services, you have to book as soon as possible. It will cost you 60€ by persons for anunforgettable all included evening. But, please, don’t come without a reservation!

Now who created this “Culinary Film Festival”?

Coming from Volos, Greece, the native city, in 1888, of the italian artist Giorgio de Chirico, Konstantins Tzitros (°1975) had this great idea. Indeed, as a teenager, he liked to watch movies in an open air movie theatre, eating some “metze” at the same time, … following a nice greek tradition. …. The weather in Belgium being different as in Greece, he choissed to organize his “L’Amour Food Festival” in a welcoming hotel of the European Berlaymont’s district! …

Arrived in Begium at 16 years old, he graduated from the “ULB” in Art History and Musicolgy, liking to play piano and violin, he was the composer for an underwater documentary fim in the Caribbean, in 2006. This year, he organized one exhibition of John Garriek’s photographies at the Brussels’ Greek Ambassy.

… And in 2013, with his “Kultur’Art Bridge”s cultural association, he comes back with the second edition of “L’Amour Food”, promoting social interaction, showing different countries’ customs and traditions, frm October 23d untill October 26th.,

Now, you just have to chooise between four different gastronomies (from India, France, Taïwan or South Korea) and four films speaking about it! Enjoy the film and the food, without to forget the good wine selected by Eric Boschman. Chears!
