The best restaurants Tournai

Gaston Vouzôte (vouzôte being a local expression meaning "you people") is a contemporary luxury brasserie. An institution firmly rooted in its terroir, blending French and Belgian culinary cultures: escargots from Kain (near Tournai), seasonal terrine, blanquette de veau... Alongside this, you'll find a whole selection of Irish or Argentine beef grilled in a Mibrasa oven. Come with your stomach wide open, as the portions are copious. Cheerful service and a full terrace as soon as the sun comes out.

A restaurant and cafeteria in Grand-Hornu, Rizom's menu reflects the melting pot of people who used to work in the coal mines, and draws its inspiration from a variety of roots: Belgian, French, Italian, Spanish, sprinkled with Asian touches. Starters and seasonal dishes are available in veg, fish or meat versions, but the plates are always small masterpieces with lively yet balanced flavors. Also of note are the 3 different accompaniment formulas: Belgian wines, beers and non-alcoholic fermentations. Designer decor.

Watch out for the pun!Socio, because there are plenty of antipasti to share, and pasta, because the rest of the menu is made up of... pasta. Steven Mirelli's restaurant offers only homemade pasta, from classics (superb rigatoni amatriciana with crispy guanciale) to more daring suggestions of the day. For dessert? Tiramisu, rum baba and affogatto al caffè! Sitting at the counter, you can admire the chefs at work. As for the dining room, it's stylish, warm and welcoming. Also available to take away.

Ideally located on Tournai's Grand'Place, L'Olivia brasserie is first and foremost the dream of John Thys, who runs the establishment with great enthusiasm! It's the ideal place to have a drink with friends and share a delicious meal! It's truly a place for sharing and festive moments. L'Olivia offers an ever-changing menu, as well as daily lunchtime suggestions. Let yourself be guided by a welcoming and dynamic team. The cosy setting and pleasant terrace in fine weather guarantee a truly relaxing moment!

Small family establishment with a simple but efficient kitchen. The dishes, as the name of the restaurant indicates, are inspired by Mediterranean and Greek cuisine. Calamari, cod croquettes, Smyrna dumplings... the portions are generous and the service pleasant. The boss, always ready to listen, will be able to guide a clientele of novice gourmets. The reduced menu guarantees the freshness of only seasonal products and compositions according to the chef's mood. However, we regret the small size of the place during busy periods (remember to book).
