Chef Five Bites: Claudio Pirollo and Mickael Cornu

Claudio Pirollo and Mickael Cornu opened the Belgian-flavored Et Voila in the Palisades neighborhood in May 2008. Before launching the restaurant, Pirollo, who was born and raised in Brussels, was named “Best Young Chef in Belgium” in 1994 and served as personal chef to the Irish ambassador. Cornu, the restaurant's co-owner and pastry chef, hails from France. You can take home his Christmas bûche for $4.50 a slice (details here).

The pair added a new brunch menu of crêpes this fall. These are their five favorite brunch bites in the city — the first three are from Pirollo, the last two from Cornu.

1. Gruyère cheese and baby spinach omelette at Brasserie Beck

2. Poached eggs with smoked salmon and asparagus and Hollandaise sauce at Belga Café

3. House-smoked salmon at the Tabard Inn

4. Cassoulet du Bistrot Lepic at Bistrot Lepic

5. Duck leg confit with frisée and sautéed potatoes at Bistrot du Coin
