Deadline Sunday 6 September

The kitchens are waiting on the last answers to buy their produce. Please send yours today — after that we cannot guarantee you the dishes you wanted.

How it works — pick the restaurant you booked, then your menu. At the Atomium, the Regular menu is served à la carte on the first two courses: choose one starter and one main course. The dessert and the Belgian cheese board are the same for everyone. The Vegetarian menu is a single fixed sequence, and so are both menus at Chaga. Dishes cannot be mixed between the Regular and the Vegetarian menu. You can change your answer by submitting this form again with the same email address.
