What deserves a place in your life. And what doesn’t.

Welcome

We’re six at the table.

Four kids, two adults, one kitchen in Brussels. Everything on Notable has been cooked, bought or tried at home first. Then it gets an honest verdict: it passes, or it’s not for us.

If it’s here, it’s because we’d make it, buy it or go there again. Pull up a chair.

How Notable works

three steps, no algorithm

1 · We try it at home

A recipe on a school night, a gadget for a few weeks, a place on a real trip. Real life, not a first impression.

2 · Everyone votes

Four kids and two adults each get a say. You see the tally, not an average.

3 · It gets a stamp

Pass means it earned its place. Not for us means it didn’t, and we tell you why.

It didn’t make it

Arroz de pato

A Portuguese classic, and to my taste a good one. Our two youngest didn’t like it, though: they don’t like the taste of duck. So it won’t become a favourite at our table. I’ll still make it again.
