About Paul de Pierre

Paul de Pierre is not just a cosy and stylish restaurant, but a fantastic event location, too. It is situated in Maarkedal, a picturesque village nestled among the fields in the Flemish Ardennes. Paul-Henri is the owner – one of the best maître d'hôtels in Belgium and a very good sommelier. He is passionate about wine, and that has translated into an extensive wine list with over 1,200 references.

In the restaurant, host Paul-Henri also values the experience and this ranges from decanting wine to opening bottles with port tongs. Paul de Pierre recently won the famous Copa Jerez competition and thus serves, in addition to wine, a whole range of fortified wines by the glass – they know better than anyone how to combine these with their dishes.
