Frequently asked questions

Where does d.ish cater?

d.ish works throughout Belgium and, on request, in the Netherlands and Luxembourg. Our atelier is in Emblem (Ranst), just outside Antwerp. For venues more than an hour away we charge a travel fee, always stated in the quote in advance.

For how many guests can I book d.ish?

From a dinner for ten to events for five hundred guests, with most of our work between fifty and two hundred. Tell us the number and the format and we will say straight away whether your date works.

Is there a minimum budget?

There is no hard minimum, but for a full fine dining menu with service the starting point is around € 65 per person, excluding drinks. You can indicate a budget range in the request form and we will build a realistic proposal around it.

I don't have a venue — can d.ish arrange one?

Yes. We work with thirteen partner venues across Flanders, from a vineyard to a former praline factory. You will find them on the Venues page. We put you in touch and coordinate everything.

What kind of cuisine does d.ish serve?

Contemporary French-Belgian cuisine with Asian influences. We work with seasonal, organic ingredients from local growers wherever possible. Vegetarian menus, allergies and dietary requirements are included in the proposal as standard.

Do I need to provide equipment?

No. We bring plates, glasses, cutlery, table linen and kitchen equipment. We set the table and clear everything away afterwards. Anything you do provide yourself is agreed clearly in advance.

How far in advance should I book?

For weddings and events in high season (May to September) we recommend six to twelve months. For smaller dinners and home cooking a few weeks is often enough. Do ask, even at short notice.

Can I taste the menu beforehand?

For weddings and larger events we arrange a tasting at our atelier in Emblem as standard. For smaller bookings this is possible on request.
