The story
Hoeve De Bies sits in the heart of Sint-Martens-Voeren, a restored farmhouse that radiates calm, beauty, and originality – but with a rough, unpolished edge. The building itself is a statement: pure, honest, and full of character. Outside, there is space for parking and a terrace for al fresco dining. Inside, the team welcomes guests for lunch and dinner, and the space is also available for private events.
The kitchen is led by Maurice, who draws directly from the surrounding Voerstreek landscape. His cuisine is Modern French in technique, but the driving force is regional products and pure ingredients. The restaurant’s own phrase for this style is "refined rawness": dishes that are carefully composed yet retain a sense of directness and integrity. The Michelin inspectors awarded a star in 2026, noting high quality cooking. The wine list is deliberately interesting, with selections that match the ingredient-focused menu.
Together, Maurice and Peterhans are the heart and face of Hoeve De Bies. While Maurice translates the environment into food, Peterhans focuses on genuine, personal contact with each guest. The entire team shares a passion for purity and authenticity. It is a place where the Voerstreek is literally put on the map, one plate at a time.
