Silo Wijnegem: Modern Belgian Cuisine in a Historic Distillery

The Kitchen and Culinary Vision

Chef Yorre Adriaenssens directs the kitchen at Silo, drawing on tenure at prestigious kitchens such as Kommilfoo and Casello where he advanced to head chef within four years. His approach to Belgian cuisine anchors deep tradition in modern creativity, crafting flavors that feel both elegant and accessible. Guests encounter a menu designed to honor local heritage through precise execution. The kitchen received a score of 12 from Gault&Millau, noting how the food respects Belgian roots while feeling distinctly modern.

A Distillery Reimagined

Situated on the Axel Vervoordt site in Wijnegem, Silo fills a former distillery structure positioned directly along the water. The room combines raw industrial character with vintage accents and sleek modern details to create a distinctive environment. This setting supports a program where Belgian cooking intersects with visual art and live performance. Service runs Wednesday through Saturday for both lunch and dinner sessions.

Music and Evening Concepts

The calendar highlights monthly SILO Jazz events held on the first Thursday of each month. These gatherings feature the Starlight Quartet accompanied by resident artists including N8N and Ludovic. Live performances pause during the summer months before returning in September. Friday and Saturday evenings shift toward stylish dinner and dance concepts that blend disco, soul, and house rhythms.
