Maison Mathis offers you the best Belgian cuisine from the heart of Europe. Belgian cuisine’s unique character is mainly influenced by French cuisine, but contains various elements from other regions. Don’t expect state of the art exclusive dishes, they want to bring you honest, simple and fresh food. Good food without the drama - and in a town that loves its drama, that’s unusual. I’m hooked already!
What we ate
We went for a tomato and goat cheese salad with cherry tomatoes, basil and croutons, finished with almond crusted warm goat cheese; and the spinach and chicken salad with mushrooms, sesame seeds tossed with balsamic dressing and parmesan flakes. We followed this with a traditional tarte flambé with Veal bacon, crème fraiche, white onions and thyme; the corn fed yellow baby chicken roasted with mustard, herbs, lemon and spices, served with grilled broccoli; and the Scottish wild salmon with sautéed spinach, sea kale and capers Gremolata. Drinks wise we simply couldn’t resist the Rosemary & Vanilla lemonade, a homemade rosemary and lemon infusion with vanilla syrup and soda water.
Verdict
Well my diet went out of the window - the food was fantastic! Fresh, simple and so tasty.
