BABAM &
LE CHARLES V
But where has
Guillaume gone?
Everyone who visited Le Charles V between June 2020 and March 2024 asks us this question!
It must be said that, as a graduate of the hotel school in Namur, Belgium, he loved to revisit traditional Burgundian dishes, creating generous yet refined dishes that he treated us to over the years. Today, it is with undisguised happiness that Guillaume continues to cultivate his love of cooking at Babam, where he assists chef Thibaut in Watermael-Boisfort (Brussels).
Thibaut van Outryve, a talented chef with a generous heart, has left his mark in the Michelin-starred kitchens of Paris and Brussels. With his experience as sous-chef at Mallory Gabsi’s Michelin-starred restaurant in Paris, where he helped earn a Michelin star, as well as his role as Chef de Partie at Yves Mattagne’s Sea Grill, Thibaut has since created his own culinary universe by launching his beloved restaurant, Babam, which was awarded the title of ‘Discovery of the Year 2025’ by Gault & Millau and a ‘Bib Gourmand 2025’ by the Michelin Guide!
Thibaut is also a knowledgeable connoisseur of fine Burgundy wines. As in his cooking, he boldly combines modernity with tradition and has entrusted us with the ageing of his Fixin in a new barrel and his Rully 1er Cru Vauvry in a Wineglobe.
Babam, a bistronomic restaurant where family tradition meets contemporary cuisine, invites you to enjoy an authentic and welcoming experience in the heart of Watermael-Boitsfort.
Inspired by his grandmother, chef Thibaut van Outryve reinterprets the recipes of his childhood with high-quality local produce and masterful creativity.
Babam’s gourmet philosophy is based on three fundamental pillars: high-quality local ingredients, a friendly atmosphere (Babam is designed to feel like home, a place where you feel comfortable) and traditional dishes reinterpreted with a bold, modern twist.
