Dear Chaîne Members,

As Bailli Délégué of Belgium, I am delighted to announce an unexpectedly exceptional event.

On Thursday, December 4th, the Embassy of Tunisia in collaboration with the Sofitel Brussels Europ, is hosting an exclusive gastronomic evening in which we will participate with our own Chaîne table.

Renowned Chef Mounir El Arem, who is Bailli Délégué of Tunisia, is specially travelling to Brussels from the celebrated restaurant Le Baroque in Tunis to create a bespoke five-course menu designed exclusively for this occasion.

His cuisine will take us on a culinary journey through the richness, elegance, and authenticity of Tunisian gastronomy - honouring tradition, refinement, and a strong sense of experience.
