Maison Marit
Braine-l'Alleud, Belgium




The Experience
From Michelin Guide
Dimitri Marit represents the second generation of his family at the helm of the elegant Maison Marit, housed in a property brimming with character. The interior has been revamped with clean lines. The restaurant has its own sheep and deer, which can be seen grazing from the terrace. Foodies have been coming here since 1991 to savour classic French cuisine. Expertise and finesse are the hallmarks of this establishment, and nowhere is this more evident than in the rich, full-bodied sauces. When preparing his risotto, the chef removes some of the liquid and mixes it with a hearty poultry stock and truffle. The result is creamy and intensely flavoursome, the ideal complement to freshly caught scallops. The focus on presentation and freshness. The extra helping offered with some dishes and the careful selection of wines show a commitment to upholding tradition.
