Hostellerie Vivendum

★ Michelin€€€Modern Cuisine, Modern French

Welcome to Dilsen, a picture postcard perfect village of Limburg, whose peaceful ambience also reigns in the Vivendum Hostelry. Established in an elegant 18C presbytery, the venue has been modernised while carefully preserving its historic cachet. The terrace overlooking the Oude Maas, is one of the finest of the region! Alex Clevers masterfully blends his classical training with a creative bent. A fan of Thai cuisine, he delicately mixes exotic flavours with local produce and traditions.

Hostellerie Vivendum in Dilsen-Stokkem offers modern French cuisine with generally high praise for food quality, warm service, and elegant atmosphere. Many reviewers highlight exceptional dishes and professional hospitality, suggesting star-worthy standards.

Some guests also noted issues with noisy rooms and decor lacking coziness.

The chef happily subverts traditional recipes, particularly thanks to carefully devised side dishes, such as a terrine of veal cheek and tongue that he subtly contrasts with sweet-sour chutney. His stamp can also be tasted in the tournedos and stroganoff sauce that strikes a perfect balance of flavours. A feast for foodies!
