The Expatriates – Ciprian Ciceu and the Story of Belgium's First Romanian Restaurant

The article profiles Ciprian Ciceu, a 38-year-old Romanian entrepreneur who established Belgium's first Romanian restaurant.

Emigration Journey

Ciceu emigrated to Belgium as a child in 1991, traveling secretly "hidden under the seat of a van" (hidden under the bench of a truck) along with his brother. His parents left Romania on tourist visas the same year with plans for the family to reunite in Belgium.

Difficult Beginnings

The family faced initial difficulties, receiving assistance from a Pentecostal church with Romanian members. This period was marked by challenges and adaptation to a new country.

Entrepreneurial Success

Beyond his main restaurant, Ciceu expanded his business portfolio to include a motel, bar, nightclub, and additional restaurant. The piece frames his journey as a success story, highlighting the years of sacrifice and struggle that underpinned his entrepreneurial achievements.
