Chef/restaurateur Robert Wiedmaier is bounding into Virginia in a big way, unveiling a triumvirate of tony Alexandria eateries that will no doubt grow the ranks of those who crave his Belgian-influenced cuisine.

Chef Chris Watson, a Marcel’s/Brasserie Beck veteran, is to helm both new restaurants as well as The Butcher’s Block—a companion market expected to feature homemade charcuterie, gourmet cheeses, fresh meats and import beers/wines.

BRABO menu to include: curry-cayenne duck sausage, crispy skate wing and braised pork shank.—WR
