Mardaga

The story

Mardaga in As: Modern Cuisine at a Hoge Kempen Hotel Restaurant

Mardaga serves modern cuisine at Stationsstraat 121 in As, inside a four-star hotel with the feel of a family house. Gault&Millau awarded it 12.5 points in 2026, and the Michelin Guide lists it as Recommended for the same year.

Classic dishes, best on the terrace

Gault&Millau calls Mardaga a charming inn where guests gladly eat classic dishes, ideally outdoors. Pan-fried duck liver is the dish its review singles out. The restaurant presents itself as gastronomic, and the terrace is covered and heated, so a table outside is not limited to summer.

An old hotel at the edge of the woods

The hotel has stood in As, near Genk, for more than 110 years, beside the Hoge Kempen National Park. A full renovation in 2014 refreshed its eighteen rooms, the restaurant and the bar. The M-Bar has an open fire for a drink before or after dinner. A garden and adjoining woodland are there for a walk, and guests get free private parking.
