Don't look to far: A real mossel soupé (for a good cause)
April 30, 2025

18:30

Brussels, Saint-Gilles

We often take creativity too far. We want to be unique. Offering the latest on the market. Innovative, groundbreaking, never thought of before. We dream of solving all the world's problems.

Recognizable? I too am guilty of this. I often look for polarities, explore new methodologies, and get inspired by what has not yet been discovered. But then I often get the question:

“And do you also sell mussels?” “Oh, we expected mussels on the mossel soupé.”

That's why this mossel soup is all about… a real mossel soupé!

Enjoy eating mussels together, with friends, acquaintances, partners and sympathizers. Because nothing is as connecting as sitting down at the table together and enjoying a delicious meal.

But we certainly don't forget to be creative. Mussels and creativity? That goes together perfectly! This time we look for inspiration not far, but close by. In ourselves, in our conversations, and in our connections with others. Are you vegetarian or vegan? No problem. We also provide you with a delicious vegetarian or vegan meal.

4 reasons to join this mussel soup

  1. Creativity close by – Sometimes creativity is easier than we think. This evening is about discovering what works for you.
  2. Connecting together – Eating mussels is a social experience. We share large plates and enjoy together.
  3. For a good cause – Combating loneliness and supporting Accolage. This evening is also a tribute to my mother, a moment of reflection in busy times.
  4. The end of the mussel year – A moment of reflection on the seasons and the cycle of creativity and growth.

Program

  • A cozy evening with mussels and fries à volonté, served on large platters at the table. Or delicious veggie lasagna, also à volonté.

Why April 30th?

The months with an 'R' - from September to April - are known as the mussel months. But did you know that the real year of the mussel starts in May? This is the time of preparation, reflection and growth. The mussel season reaches its peak in the R months, and this evening we celebrate that end in a unique and creative way.

And all for a good cause.

All proceeds from this mossel soupé will go to Accolage, a fantastic charity that helps neighbors to help neighbors. Accolage promotes informal help, connects people in local networks and strengthens social cohesion in neighborhoods. Their mission? Supporting the elderly and vulnerable people so that they can continue to live independently and fully in their familiar environment.

Creativity only really flourishes when we are not alone. Together we make a difference.

Your contribution will help to continue this project and combat loneliness.
