Delys Restaurant in Jehay, Belgium – Modern Cuisine by Chef Rémi Doucet

Delys – Modern Cuisine in the Heart of Jehay

In the quiet town of Jehay, Chef Rémi Doucet runs Delys, a restaurant where contemporary cooking meets a deep respect for local produce. The team welcomes guests into an intimate, modern space where the materials, lighting, and furniture have been chosen to create a relaxed atmosphere and optimal comfort. The result is a setting that feels both refined and unpretentious.

The kitchen focuses on a cuisine that evolves with the seasons. The menu changes at the rhythm of nature, drawing on the finest local ingredients from organic and sustainable agriculture. This commitment to sourcing is not a marketing line but the foundation of every dish. The cooking is described as contemporary, grounded in the best products the region has to offer.

Delys offers two distinct menus. At lunch, guests can choose between a 55€ or 70€ menu, both beginning with an aperitif moment and featuring beef, poultry, and citrus. The evening menu, at 90€, is a more complete affair. A typical dinner might start with an amuse-bouche of shared aperitif creations, followed by beef in gravelax with black pepper, cress, and celery. Scallops and shellfish appear next, worked with potato, then a half Breton lobster with piquillos, red curry, coconut milk, and concentrated bisque. A comté ravioli with black truffle, salsify, and concentrated onion jus precedes the main: farm poultry, with a slowly cooked supreme, foie gras, roast jus, pear, and honey-braised chicory, alongside a confit leg with shallot confit and tarragon béarnaise. The meal closes with a citrus dessert of lemon cream and fresh citrus textures, followed by a sorrel-apple sorbet with yogurt.

This approach to country cooking and modern cuisine has earned Delys a Michelin Recommended distinction for 2026. The recognition fits naturally with the restaurant’s philosophy: a clear focus on technique, quality ingredients, and a dining experience that feels both sophisticated and welcoming. Whether for a weekday lunch or an evening out, Delys offers a genuine taste of contemporary Belgian cooking.
