Thierry Theys (Nuance)

In 2019 we indulge our Business Class passengers on their way to North America and sub-Saharan Africa with the culinary creations of Michelin Star Chef Thierry Theys.
Together with his wife Sofie Willemarck, Chef Theys opened the restaurant Nuance in 2008, located in Duffel (Antwerp). Serving a menu built upon French haute cuisine given a finer, lighter and more elegant touch, Nuance has since gone straight to the culinary top, winning multiple awards and holding two Michelin stars.
Chef Theys has designed our exclusive menu using Belgian seasonal products supplemented by a touch of international ingredients, combining intriguing and complex flavours perfectly to present you with delectable options.
