English Comedy Brussels combines the best of British sitcom with fine cuisine in its Fawlty Towers dining experience. Fawlty Towers is possibly Britain’s favourite sitcom. A first in Belgium, this themed evening stars John Cleese impersonator Ed Wells, who boasts the lofty stature to mimic the celebrated comic actor. Basil is joined of course by Manuel and Sybil to complete the Fawlty Towers team. The fabulous Barsey boutique hotel and restaurant on Avenue Louise serves as the Brussels location for Torquay’s most notorious guesthouse on Friday 24 May 2024.

The fun starts from 19h00 with six foot, seven inch Ed Wells, exactly the same height as Mr Cleese himself, walking the walk and talking the talk as he leads his team on Gourmet Night to deliver an unforgettable culinary experience.

Unlike the TV show's own Gourmet Night, Chef Nicholas Tsiknakos (Golden chef cap award, Greece 2008; Swiss Culinary cup winner 2005) won’t have ‘potted the shrimps, soused the herrings, pickled the onions or smashed the eggs in his pot under the table’, but will prepare a delicious three course dinner for your enjoyment (see menu below).
