The story

Oscar Mons: French and Belgian Cooking with Thai Accents

The chef and his philosophy

Jérôme founded Restaurant Oscar in Mons alongside his wife Chloé in 2019. His French and Belgian cuisine now follows strict seasonality, turning a childhood fascination with his grandmother’s recipes into a permanent culinary home. Local supply chains deliver peak ingredients weekly, and he occasionally weaves in quiet Thai accents. This dedication to straightforward sourcing has earned the kitchen a solid 12.5 score from Gault&Millau.

A seasonal approach to the plate

The kitchen treats its ingredients with restraint. Seasonal vegetables and prime proteins dictate the daily changes, allowing unadorned preparations to sit beside more elaborate gastronomic plates. Both rely on reliable technique rather than heavy sauces. Every dish prioritizes texture and balanced seasoning over unnecessary complexity.

Light and contemporary interiors

The dining room sits just steps from the Grand Place. Natural light fills the space during daytime service, highlighting contemporary seating and clean lines. Conversation flows easily across the layout. Staff members maintain a steady, friendly pace that matches the unhurried rhythm of the meal.
