Haut Bonheur de la Table

Haut Bonheur de la Table is a family-run, Michelin-starred restaurant on the Grand'Place of Mont Cassel, set in a renovated 17th‑century Flemish building. Opened in 2013 after long careers in French and Belgian kitchens, it is led by a chef and partner Marie‑Pierre who emphasise welcome, attentive service, a familial spirit and the desire to give pleasure at table. The house offers chef-taught cooking classes and operates a nearby guesthouse, Maison de Marie, linking lodging and dining. The dining room is sober, refined, elegant and cosy, with light that gently highlights the plates. A newly restored façade and tasteful decoration combine traditional Flemish character with a terrace that seats 20 and provides a panoramic setting. The kitchen serves modern, seasonally focused cuisine from fresh regional products; menus are renewed monthly. Dishes show refined technique informed by the chef's pastry background; tasting set menus are served for the whole table and emphasise product-driven preparations. Eugène Hobraiche trained from his teens in hotel and pastry studies, took stages with Yves Mattagne, Régis Marcon and Jacques Decoret and earned two forks (2014), the Michelin Assiette (2016) and a Michelin star (2017). Specialties: raie (ray), langoustine (Norway lobster), pigeon from Maison Dequidt, poire de boeuf (beef) and cheeses of Cassel (supplement).
