The sky, the earth, and the water: the striking contrast of Marius Bosmans

From the moment you step into the heart of the estate, you feel as though you've entered another world. Bathed in a unique light, the majestic building welcomes its guests, offering a sanctuary far from the urban hustle. Here, elegance, art, and modern luxury seamlessly blend together. Look up, and you’ll see the stunning rooms of Château de Vignée. Look down, and three meters beneath this rich earth lies one of the most exceptional wine cellars in the country.

Then, there is Arden, the stage of Marius Bosmans. The dining room opens up to another type of glow. Between the sky, the forest, and the Lesse River, which seems to embrace the architecture, the space radiates a serene harmony.

Marius Bosmans’ cuisine is a different kind of light: pure and refined. It reflects the essence of its creator—free, deeply rooted in nature, and in perfect harmony with the terroir. His approach is a perfect balance between precision and finesse, restraint and creativity. Each creation tells a story of freedom, where masterful control of flavors and textures comes to life.

Having trained at Boury* and Hertog Jan, and previously serving as sous-chef to Thierry Theys (Nuance), Marius Bosmans embodies a remarkable blend of confidence and humility, precision and spontaneity, logic and freedom. More than just dishes, he presents true culinary compositions, where flavors and textures merge in perfect harmony. His cuisine is not about spectacle but a subtle dialogue of emotion and balance, inviting guests to discover a world of authenticity and brilliance.

A special mention must go to the magnificent dessert cart, which, though playful, concludes the meal with a sense of refined indulgence.

In this space, where craftsmanship reigns, the perfect balance of precision and elegance is orchestrated by a top-tier team.

Some see the light and try to capture it. Marius Bosmans, however, already embodies it. His cuisine demands humility and openness, inviting guests to set aside their certainties and embrace the brilliance of pure talent. An experience that, far beyond the plate, simply brings joy.
