A restaurant named for its address would be hard to forget in any case, but 362 Avenue Louise is also memorable for its inventive modern cuisine, distinctive décor and open-kitchen dining room.
The restaurant opened in 2012 and has won a loyal following for its French cuisine with an Oriental touch. Owner Philippe Leclercq explains, “My wife and I once owned a photography store but decided to buy this restaurant last year. My wife is responsible for the interior decoration, which features our own art collection. We have created a chic, contemporary environment where our guests can enjoy their meals.”
The restaurant seats 55 guests on two floors, and all diners have a view of the very modern open kitchen. 362 Avenue Louise is a favourite among executives at lunch, where service is rapid to suit people on schedules, but in the evening diners tend to linger over their meals. Defining what makes his restaurant’s food special, Philippe Leclercq says, “We specialise in simple, natural dishes based on high-quality, fresh ingredients, like sea bass and Aubrac beef.” As for the restaurant’s very original name, he adds, “We could not decide on a name, so I suggested the address as a joke, and it stuck.”
