The story
The concept for EXKi was developed during a 1999 reunion of three former classmates: Frederic Rouvez, Nicolas Steisel, and Arnaud de Meeûs.
On January 9, 2001, EXKi launched its inaugural restaurant in Brussels. One year later, in 2002, the company received the "Best Concept" award at the French international real estate conference, MAPIC. In 2012, the brand was awarded the "Best Food and Beverage Retail Concept" award.
In June 2014, EXKi expanded its reach by opening its first location in the United States on Park Avenue South in Manhattan.
