In Marenne , in the municipality of Hotton and not far from Durbuy , "Les Pieds dans le Plat" is a renowned gastronomic destination. Chef Jean-Michel Dienst , a Michelin- starred chef for many years, showcases his expertise with cuisine that is both generous and precise. With over thirty years of experience , he blends tradition and modernity in the heart of the Ardennes . Come and discover simple yet delicious cuisine with authentic flavors.

Housed in the village's former school , the restaurant has retained its authentic charm. The elegant and welcoming dining room opens onto a pleasant terrace for sunny days. The atmosphere is convivial, far removed from the sometimes overly formal conventions of fine dining.

In the kitchen, local produce and seasonal ingredients take center stage: game , mushrooms , local vegetables , fish , and meat are prepared with care to preserve their natural flavors. The menus change regularly and are complemented by a carefully curated wine list .
