Mariette

Mariette is a family-run restaurant that began as Bistro Mariette and, over five years, adopted its concise current name. The team prepares classically inspired French-Belgian cuisine from the best seasonal products; many dishes are designed to be shared. Service is family-led: father and son in the kitchen, mother and daughter in the dining room; the house stresses genuine hospitality and an unpretentious presentation. The kitchen stages regular seasonal events and offers à la carte, set and special seasonal menus. Mariette is selected by Michelin and positions itself as a place for refined, product-driven French-Belgian cooking in a relaxed, convivial setting. The dining room presents a neat, polished look and a cozy atmosphere; a beautiful garden terrace provides outdoor dining. The overall vibe is warm and family-oriented with attentive, informal service. The cuisine focuses on seasonal, high-quality ingredients and shared dishes, balancing traditional preparations with occasional international touches. Specialties include a hopscheuten (hop-shoot) tasting menu developed with local producer 't Hoppecruyt, Belgian asparagus with winter truffle, turbot, wild pheasant with caramelized endive and hand-rolled croquettes, and scallops (sint-jakobsnoten).
