The story

Cosmos Brussels: A Modern Cuisine Focus on Seasonal Seafood and Vegetables

The Founder and the Kitchen

Founder Kevin Perlot opened Cosmos in Brussels to present a refined modern cuisine built on precise technique and seasonal produce. After seven years working alongside Sang Hoon Degeimbre, he finally established his own kitchen inside a historic building that once served as a fishmonger shop. His team sources vegetables from dedicated growers and secures pristine Normandy seafood through specialized partners. This commitment to quality recently placed the restaurant on the 2026 Le Fooding list.

The Menu and Signature Plates

The seasonal cuisine here avoids heavy sauces, relying instead on precise pairings like black mullet prepared with zucchini and ajo blanco. Breton langoustine appears with bisque and tarragon, while young red beets are balanced with verbena and rhubarb. Roasted sweetbreads offer a richer option when paired with spinach and shiso leaves. The final course shifts between marinated strawberries with green pepper and a compact chocolate buckwheat tart.

The Space and Service

Guests dine within a room that preserves its original architectural character, complete with a striking maritime fresco and weathered woodwork. A gleaming zinc counter now anchors the dining area, offering a bright contrast to the older materials. The layout encourages a relaxed pace where conversations flow easily between tables. Staff members guide diners through the courses with quiet attention, ensuring each element arrives at the proper temperature.

Le Fooding — Listed

Chef overboard! After seven years under the wing of Sang Hoon Degeimbre (at L’Air du Temps and Vertige), Kevin Perlot has finally taken the plunge with his own restaurant, docked inside a listed former fishmongers where a glorious maritime fresco and original woodwork now meet a gleamingly new zinc counter. From his galley, the young chef reels in pristine Normandy fish (chartered via La Coquille qui Claque) and vegetables from Le Monde des Mille Couleurs for a five-course menu balancing sea spray and garden greens: amberjack prepared using the ikejime method, lightly cured and served raw with lettuce coulis, fried capers and a sprinkling of fresh herbs; scallop coral chawanmushi (Japanese savory flan) with an intense carrot jus, bay-infused carrots, extra scallops and a delicate scallop beard jus on the side; spring turnips with miso, rhubarb and turnip tops marinated in anchovy oil; beautifully cured monkfish with crisp green asparagus, lentils and a slightly shy horseradish pil-pil sauce; before a bittersweet hop ice cream with zingy cider jelly and caramelized puffed barley. To finish: a financier masquerading as a madeleine, plus a mini chocolate-buckwheat tart. · Carole Scarole
