Yirmi Restaurant in Malonne: Seasonal French Cuisine Near Namur

A Personal Villa in Malonne

Yirmi brings refined French cooking to Malonne, a quiet village just five minutes from Namur. Chef Jeremy Vandernoot transformed an elegant family villa into his culinary home and dining room. He shares this intimate space with a small team that includes apprentice cooks and a dedicated sommelier. Twenty covers define the rhythm of service here, allowing every guest to experience the chef’s full attention.

Deconstructed Seasonal Plates

The kitchen builds its tasting menus around a simple philosophy of total product utilization. Main ingredients like lamb, trout, or eggplant are deconstructed so that every part receives a distinct preparation. You might encounter roasted chicken brioche served alongside seared scallops or a chocolate finish paired with fresh cherries. This approach honors Les Jardins de la Vecquée vegetables while keeping modern French cuisine grounded in the surrounding terroir.

Accommodating Every Palate

Gault&Millau awarded the table fourteen and a half points for this sincere and generous kitchen. The chefs adapt every course to accommodate gluten-free, lactose-free, vegetarian, or vegan requirements without compromising the structure. Guests choose between a forty-five euro lunch or longer ninety-two euro journeys through regional flavors. This flexibility ensures the French culinary approach remains accessible while preserving its meticulous construction.
