Northern and Belgian readers, and even from other regions.
Estam’ shows the diversity of estaminets (not only the usual 4 or 5 addresses that have been talked about for years around Cassel and Godewaersvelde) and portrays some of the emblematic personalities who, like Florent Ladeyn, have contributed to the revival of these typical inns and their rise to the top in terms of cuisine.
