Copain Copain is the name of a brand new restaurant that opens its doors in the center of Bilzen on Monday. Managers Kevin Huygen and Herbert Ritzen are well-known figures in the city, which already guarantees success.
Kevin Huygen said goodbye to his previous business, tapas restaurant Barabas, to return to the building from the early years of his career: the legendary brasserie De Schenkerij in Genutstraat. The location in the Galerie Arcade has now been extensively renovated into the new Copain Copain restaurant. Huygen embarks on the adventure with his buddy Herbert Ritzen, known as store director of Carrefour Market in Bilzen.
“Copain Copain is a restaurant that mainly serves sharing dishes,” Ritzen explains. “For lunch we have a menu with full-fledged dishes, but also smaller portions to share with table companions. This offer continues throughout the day, so that we can put some classic dishes on the table again in the evening for dinner. So there are various formulas possible.”
Bilzen has been eagerly awaiting the new business for weeks. “It was a race against time to get everything ready, but now that the time has come, we can’t wait to get started,” said the owners of the new establishment.
