Unique tastes on a unique location
The place name "Brussels" comes from "Broekzele", meaning "settlement (zele) near the swamp (broek)". A long time ago, wolves from the Sonian forest gathered at a specific place in this swampy area, that's whu the current name of our street is: Wolvengracht.
In Wolvengracht, in 1943 architect Alfred Chambon began the construction of the headquarters of ASLK, Algemene Spaar - en Lijfrentekas (General Savings and Annuity Fund), which included the famous counter room. From real wolves to financial wolves, WOLF today welcomes a mob in search of new culinary experiences.
Experiences based on authenticity, quality and the passion and skill of real artisans. All this in a unique setting, results in an exceptional total experience.
Recycle
For the construction of WOLF, maximum use was made of recovered materials, which were already present when the building was the center room of a bank. The signalling boards of the counters, as well as the old desks of the bank clerks, have been converted into lamps. Reserve pieces of the Val Saint-Lambert glass ceiling are reused as decoration. The front panels of the marble counters are used as the bar's counter, and the copper bars of the same counters, as lamps of the toilets. For the kiosks, no less than 700 moulds were recovered to reconstruct a frieze, reminiscent of the frieze of the entrance door, classified as urban heritage.
