Welcome to Our, a characteristic Ardennes village nestling in peaceful countryside, that has become a beacon for discerning gourmets thanks to Maxime Collard. After a stint as deputy at Karmeliet, he has forged his own style in his homeland. An old farmstead has been restored and turned into an elegant modern restaurant, whose many windows and mirrors seem to invite the countryside indoors. Chef Collard invariably avoids showing off his extensive technical background, preferring to unveil the essence of a few premium ingredients, local whenever possible. Examples include tail of blue lobster, poached in the plate, paired with cherries, almond cream, Neufchâteau mozzarella, cherry jelly and an exquisite beurre blanc. Modern, highly aromatic cuisine, overflowing in subtle nuances and generosity, depicts the handiwork of this high-flying artisan. The à la carte pigeon is a whole pigeon, cooked on the bone. When you sit down to a meal at Maxime’s, your tastebuds are in for a moment of pure bliss!
