Food for thought by Isabelle Arpin
A playful culinary experience expanding our understanding of food
Isabelle Arpin, with her guests, invites us to understand the future of food while keeping up her passion for excellence, taste, conviviality, pleasure and sharing…
Stimulate your senses with a new menu of varied tastes and food that is nourishing, healthy, environment-friendly, trusted, inclusive and delicious.
We are more than 8 billion people in the world today. With an expected number of 10 billion by 2050, the food demand is constantly increasing. Food, whilst one of the most popular hobbies of our century, has a very significant impact on the environment. It is one of the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions, before transport and housing.
For this first edition, they invite you to dive into a new world of “true or false”. A conference lunch discovering food innovations and their true/false impact on health and the environment.
Curating eye-opening experiences, chef Isabelle Arpin and her partner, Dominika Herzig, continue their influence and engagement in opening up new perspectives on food… adding their very own touch of humour and signature twist.

Isabelle Arpin
Isabelle Arpin is a chef with a singular and unconventional path. A graduate in economics, she discovered cooking later in life—a revelation that became a vocation. Curious, cultured, and free-spirited, she learned from the best while following her own rhythm. That freedom has since defined her career and culinary signature.
Twice awarded Michelin stars (2017, 2019), Arpin gained acclaim in Belgium and abroad, yet she remains independent and deeply committed to solidarity. During the pandemic, she devoted herself to supporting healthcare workers, the homeless, and numerous social causes.
In 2023, she moved her practice to the Château de Leignon, where she is creating a space rooted in sustainability and aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. An advocate of responsible fishing and ambassador for the UN’s Zero Waste Day in Brussels, she also advises FoodTech start-ups on plant-based innovation and sustainable agriculture.
