The story
Between Mons and Soignies, in the village of Casteau, Le Bouton d’Or brings together stone walls and contemporary comfort. The dining room feels spacious yet intimate, with an open fire in winter and a pretty terrace for summer evenings. This is the domain of Roch and Florence, a duo who run every part of the experience themselves.
Roch describes his cooking as “frank and generous,” built on transformation and the principle of fait maison. The kitchen follows the rhythms of the season, using local terroir produce and exceptional ingredients. Nothing is prefabricated — each dish is prepared from scratch, reflecting a deep respect for the product itself. The seasonal menu changes regularly, and guests can also choose from daily suggestions and a children’s menu.
In the dining room, Florence guides guests through a wine list that reaches across the world’s vineyards. She also curates a notable selection of Belgian gins and international whiskies, making the aperitif or digestif an event in itself.
For those who appreciate a fine cigar, Le Bouton d’Or offers a dedicated Cigare Lounge stocked with Davidoff cigars — a cosy space to unwind after the meal.
This honest, seasonal approach has earned Le Bouton d’Or a place in the Michelin guide, recognised for its consistent quality and warm hospitality. It is a restaurant that lets the ingredients speak, and the welcome does the rest.
