比利時烹飪二人組Gert De Mangeleer和Joachim Boudens在2018年底關閉米其林三星級餐廳Hertog Jan之後，將他們更休閑的餐廳L.E.S.S帶到了新的高度，室內空間由Another Office的Tommy Van den Brandt設計。
After closing their 3 Michelin-star restaurant Hertog Jan at the end of 2018, Belgian culinary duo Gert De Mangeleer and Joachim Boudens have taken their more casual eatery L.E.S.S to new heights, with a new location and interior by Tommy Van den Brandt of Another Office.
這個代表愛、吃、分享、微笑的L.E.S.S空間，其靈感來自於一個旨在分享的菜單。菜肴大膽而多樣，從秘魯酸橘汁醃魚到香港的點心，室內環境有著柔和的環境氛圍。
Standing for Love, Eat, Share, Smile, L.E.S.S is globally inspired with a menu meant to share. Dishes are bold and diverse, ranging from Peruvian ceviche to dim sum from Hong Kong, so the interiors serve as a mellow, gentle backdrop.
範·登·勃蘭特（Van den Brandt）在空間采用粗野主義的設計方法，並以溫暖的物質性為靈感。比利時設計師Christopher Gevers1959年設計的TBA椅子專門為L.E.S.S重新投入生產，皮革和不鏽鋼設計的桌子和酒吧座椅的組合直接可以看到開放式廚房。
Van den Brandt took a brutalist approach tempered by warm materiality. Belgian designer Christopher Gevers’ iconic 1959 TBA chair was brought back into production specifically for L.E.S.S, the leather and stainless steel design flanking tables and bar seats with a view directly to the open kitchen.
陽台休息區設有傾斜的天窗，室內充滿了充足的自然光線，與外部的深色木質圍欄木材形成了鮮明的對比。加厚玻璃保護室內免受寒冷天氣影響。
An atrium-style veranda seating area with a sloped skylight roof floods the interior with plenty of natural light, a welcome contrast to the austerity of the dark stained paddock timber that clads the exterior. Specially reinforced glass shields from cold weather.
