Welcome to Ethny, where our passion for culinary excellence intertwines with a journey shaped by adaptability, collaboration, and a ceaseless pursuit of gastronomic innovation.

My name is Réginald Smit, a young chef and restaurateur, nurtured by the esteemed école hôtelière de Namur and further honed at the Efpme training center in Brussels. Ethny symbolizes a culinary venture that my team and I have cradled since the unprecedented year of 2020.

In the very heart of the COVID-19 pandemic, a time that tested our collective resilience, my entrepreneurial spirit took a pivotal turn. I ventured into the realm of food entrepreneurship, adapting to the new normal by crafting a bespoke “chef at home” catering service. If diners could no longer come to the restaurant, I resolved to bring the pinnacle of gastronomic experience directly to them.

It was during the quest for professional premises that destiny introduced me to Arnaud du bois d’aiche, an entrepreneur deeply rooted in the food industry and the proud proprietor of Chef à Table – a company specializing in kitchen rentals adapted to dark kitchens. His belief in my culinary vision fused with immediate support, enabling us to merge our strengths, expand our two businesses, and enhance our professional offerings to an ever-growing clientele. Together, we’ve had the privilege of working in extraordinary venues and collaborating with trustworthy partners, such as the Château d’Emmine, amongst numerous others.

Firmly believing that our profession is one of transmission, I continued to teach at EFP, molding young minds and seamlessly integrating them into our evolving enterprise. From these synergies, Ethny, the restaurant, was born. Our project took shape, blossomed, and we are now thrilled to introduce you to Restaurant Traiteur Ethny, nestled in the region of Huldenberg.
