The story
Père et Mère, at Grote Markt 43 in Diksmuide, Belgium, serves classic cuisine that earned 13/20 from Gault&Millau for 2026. The restaurant faces the town's main square, and its menu leans on refined versions of familiar dishes.
Jelle Devisch runs the kitchen, while Magali leads service in the dining room. Gault&Millau describes the cooking as generous and honest, rooted in Flemish terroir, and praises Devisch for reinterpreting traditional ideas. Michelin lists the restaurant as Recommended for 2026.
Guests can order à la carte or choose one of two set menus. The restaurant makes its own gin, a spicy blend with strong juniper, mandarin and elderflower, and pours it as an aperitif. Anyone with allergies or dietary needs is asked to tell the team in advance so the kitchen can adapt the dishes.
