    Meet Quentin

    Mushroom and Microgreens Producer

    Quentin produces mushrooms, microgreens and aromatic herbs. 

    He works with a fantastic team in a magnificent but hidden away location in Brussels: the magnificent Abattoirs d'Anderlecht cellars, a century-old basement that covers 10,000 m²!

    Their approach is local, ecological and circular! In actual fact, they are associated with two Brussels-based organic breweries, recycling some of their beer production waste to help produce delicious mushrooms. They also recycle bread waste from a chain of organic stores. Nothing is wasted, every last bit is used!

    Quentin and his team are as enthusiastic as they are captivating - they love passing on their expertise, sharing their approach, and allowing others to discover top-quality produce!

    Très chouette visite ! Le lieu est intrigant et le monde des champignons est fascinant. Les champignons reçus à la fin de la visite étaient très bons. A recommander !
