Baci - Restaurant

What Baci - Restaurant does

Baci is a Mediterranean fine-dining restaurant operating within the Théâtre de Liège (Pl. du Vingt Août 16, Liège, Belgium), legally held under TRIUMVIRAT SRL, a Belgian private limited company. The restaurant is chef-owned and led by Maxence Louis, a self-taught chef with over a decade of experience including a prior head-chef role at Osteria Bacetto. Baci runs a limited weekly service schedule — Wednesday to Friday lunch and dinner plus Saturday dinner — built around a small set of fixed-price tasting menus (Menu du Marché at €50, Menu en 4 temps at €74, Menu en 5 temps at €89, plus a Jeunes Gastronomes -35 ans menu at €100 all-inclusive) with optional sommelier-curated wine pairings and premium wine dinner events priced at €150-€190 per person.

The business monetizes through three primary streams: per-cover fine dining (the dominant stream), private and corporate event bookings (lunches, dinners, walking dinners, cocktail receptions, and full venue privatization), and gift card sales via a ZenChef-powered e-commerce storefront. Distribution is entirely direct-to-consumer through in-person reservations and email/phone bookings, with no third-party delivery or marketplace presence. The technology layer is minimal — a marketing website (bacibaci.be), social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), ZenChef reservation/gift infrastructure, and Google Analytics — with no app, proprietary platform, or digital product offering.

Baci's customer base spans fine-dining enthusiasts, corporate and business event clients, theater patrons from the host venue, and wine enthusiasts drawn by the curated wine program. The restaurant has accumulated meaningful critical capital in a short operating history: a Gault & Millau listing with 13/20 and first toque (November 2023), Star Wine List White Star Venue recognition (2024), and Gault & Millau's "Ten to Taste" selection (2026). Strategic collaborations with international wine producers (Umani Ronchi, Parusso, Lopez de Heredia) and peer restaurants (Le Roannay 4-hands dinner) round out the positioning as a chef-driven, theater-anchored gastronomic destination in Wallonia.
