Thai Journey, Belgian Soul
Opened in March 2020, Maïnoï was born of an irresistible desire to bring Thai gastronomy into dialogue with other cultures and cuisines. Two generations share the stoves of this family restaurant, for whom tradition is a compass but never a boundary.

Here, the classics of the “Land of Smiles” invite curiosity. Bangkok’s emblematic recipes are subtly re-imagined: a black-pudding spring roll, razor clams in red curry, grilled beef fillet with Thai shallot sauce, or Khung Yang – grilled prawns with crisp vegetables and a vibrant seafood sauce. Each plate offers a refined yet powerful fusion that tells the story of both a journey and a terroir.

Respect for ingredients is a true commitment. Spices, sauces, and condiments come directly from Thailand—shipped by boat for heavier goods and flown in weekly for the most delicate. Local sourcing follows a short-supply philosophy: organic vegetables, regionally raised meats, home-grown poultry, edible flowers, and carefully selected aromatic herbs.

The dining room was recently redesigned: the open kitchen now sits at the back, preserving a quiet elegance far from flashy exotic clichés, while the subtle fragrance of Thailand still floats through the space. On Friday lunchtimes, a Bangkok-style noodle cart adds a delicious nod to vibrant street-food traditions.

Guests return as they would to a dear friend: for the warm welcome, the smiling professionalism, the wine cellar full of hidden gems, and above all for a Thai cuisine of the highest order that continues to rise.
Each visit is a renewed delight—a wondrous journey where Thailand meets Belgium, off the beaten path and beyond the clichés.
