In a picturesque spot on the doorstep of Sint-Martens-Bodegem Church, Thomas Locus had this former presbytery restored without losing its period charm – and Agnes is the epitome of gracious hospitality. Every detail reveals a respect for the art of fine dining and a passion for outstanding produce from rockfish to hare, without forgetting Burgundy wines, albeit with the odd modern twist. First-rate gutsy sauces and high-precision cooking are exemplified by a juicy slab of turbot cooked on the bone, paired with a Choron sauce, enhanced with an intoxicating blend of spices that is both powerful and mild. Varied sides like shrimp and textures of cabbage complete this generous portrait. We wager that you will fall head over heels for Agnes! Book a room and stay overnight in the nearby (1.5km) B&B if you have time.
