Benoit & Bernard Dewitte want more than a restaurant, an inspiring place of rest. You dine in a picturesque, poetic context and on a sweet summer day you imagine yourself almost in the South of France.
Benoit & Bernard Dewitte aim to provide pure flavours and fragrances in all their uniqueness and finesse to convert to a refreshing dining experience, brilliant in its simplicity. Because lies not in imposing real class impact with few ingredients?
It is in each case where the brothers Dewitte aim: pure gastronomy that excels in genuine transparency. The restaurant is praised for the excellent quality of the product, the impeccable freshness of the ingredients and the refined aromas and textures.
The delightful villa of the Dewitte brothers sports a country rural interior, perfectly suited to the surrounding garden. The kitchen team creates modern subtle dishes using top quality ingredients that are rich in flavour
