From small town events to Michelin starred kitchens
For host and sommelier Tijs Coessens, hospitality began long before Les Abris. From helping serve at town events as a teenager to shaping his craft at ‘t Oud Konijntje**, Château Castigno in France, and Marcus* in Deerlijk, every step strengthened his love for service and wine. His years abroad deepened his technical skill set, while his Belgian upbringing kept his approach down to earth. At Les Abris, he pairs an approachable warmth with refined expertise, creating pairings that enhance without overpowering. His selections reflect balance; lightness, depth, and a deep respect for the chef’s cuisine.
Every step of my career taught me the same thing: good service is simply about paying attention.
