Pick one
Want the package and zero logistics: book Louis 1924 — chef Thomas Locus's own B&B; a €550-for-two bundle covers room, breakfast, 5-course menu and wine pairings[2]. It is the only walkable option that runs a shuttle to Agnes[11], which matters because the walk is ~1.6 km / ~19 min — not the "few dozen metres" the site implies[14].
Want the shortest actual walk and the best reviews: book De Onsemhoeve — ~1.0 km / ~13 min on foot[15], 4.9/5 on TripAdvisor[6].
Skip: B&B Bodegem — cheapest but 2.6/5 with cleanliness complaints[7]; not worth the saving when Onsemhoeve exists at this price band.
The village, briefly
Sint-Martens-Bodegem is a small village in Dilbeek municipality, ~12 km west of Brussels. Agnes by Thomas Locus sits at Processiestraat 3 and holds one Michelin star for modern French cuisine[10]. Locus closed his other star restaurant Julie at Dorpsplein in 2025 to focus on Agnes[13]. There is no hotel inside the village — only three B&Bs, all within 1–2 km of the restaurant.

De Onsemhoeve
- ~€162–164/night, breakfast included and called out as a "standout" by reviewers[6]

If everything is booked
None of these are large properties — Louis 1924 has 8 rooms, Onsemhoeve has 4. If both are full, the next options stop being walkable and become a 5–10 min taxi: Dilbeek centre, Groot-Bijgaarden, or Brussels West suburbs. Trains from Sint-Martens-Bodegem station run to Brussels in ~15 min, so a Brussels hotel is feasible for breakfast/exploration but means a taxi back from Agnes (no late evening train direct). For walking the village itself, you are limited to the three above[8].
Booking levers worth knowing
- The €550 Louis 1924 + Agnes package[2] works out to ~€275/person all-in (room, breakfast, 5-course, wines). For two people, that beats booking the components separately and avoids the post-dinner walk question.
- Onsemhoeve only has four rooms and is the highest-rated B&B in the village[6] — book early on a weekend.
- Tourist tax of €2.50/person/night applies in Dilbeek and is typically billed on arrival, not included in advertised rates[2].
- If you choose Louis 1924 without the package, request the shuttle when booking — it is mentioned on the Brasserie Julie site, not advertised on the Louis 1924 page[11].
