Tournai

Vincent and his wife Ling, originally from China, offer local cuisine. Seasonal produce is sourced from their farm or from nearby farms. Madame is in the kitchen and sets the scene, sometimes with a more exotic touch... Egg rolls and noodles are made with vegetables from the farm. The rest of the menu is more classic and local: american, escabeche, charcuterie boards, brochettes... and some nice suggestions. The setting is rather contemporary. A good place to eat in the region.

Located in Beloeil, Christophe and his wife attract customers from far and wide to their cozy tavern. A true moment out of time, where good humor is accompanied by home cooking that delights the senses. With plenty of local produce, generous portions and a vertiginous beer list. And above all, the kindness of our hosts, who make you forget the world's little and big cruelties for the duration of a meal. More than just a restaurant, Taverne Saint-Géry is practically a tourist attraction.

Mimi and Laurent offer healthy, tasty cuisine with seasonal and local produce, for flexitarians who love creative dishes bursting with vegetables. Many vegetarian and vegan options. The menus are small but always fresh. Starters include Greek-style eggplant confit in a terracotta pot, feta and oregano crumble; mains include pulled pork, apple and stoemp hash; and lasagne with scarmozza, raisins and walnuts. Comforting, all that!

On Quai Notre-Dame, near the Grand-Place, Rive Gauche turns its bay windows towards the Scheldt, and the courtyard at the back is ideal for its calm. At the head of the team is Camille, always smiling and ready to help. On the plates, suggestions enrich the menu. A few examples: homemade foie gras, mixed grill board (rib's, braised bacon, chicken, country sausage), tartare, salads and burgers. Desserts are homemade and ice creams come from local artisan Atelier Saveurs. Regional beers and wines by the glass.

An address to recommend to carnivores. Luc Broutard treats his loyal customers to exceptional "grand cru" meats. The house specialty remains beef: onglet, entrecôte, tartare... and the refined rib of beef is rare and delicious. Seasonal dishes and fish balance the menu of this chic brasserie, where it's a pleasure to feast in a particularly plush dining room. With 400 to 500 references of wines and various other quality spirits (Scotch, Japanese, Swedish whiskies...), there's something for everyone.

A restaurant-grill, located at the exit of Mouscron, which turns out to be a popular stopover for lovers of meaty meats. Indeed, the grill is running at full capacity - it is the largest Irish meat outlet in the region - and the butcher's cuts have been carefully chosen: beef comes from Ireland and lamb from New Zealand. You will find bone-in ribs, ribs, grills, tabs, skewers and a "Black Angus Burger". All accompanied by vegetables, potatoes and homemade sauces. It doesn't take much to convince the last reluctant ones, all the more so as the atmosphere here is quite convivial.

The panoramic view of the Époux-Clément restaurant is perfectly striking. Refaite to nine ago, the house proposes, by adapting its card to the seasons, to revisit the classics of the French gastronomy, like the coast of veau cream sauce to morels or the fatty liver of duck served with its brioches in entry. In season, it is the game that holds the top of the poster and when it is nice, taking his meal in the garden, whose view is as beautiful as that of the restaurant, is pure enchantment.

I'm a Barbie Girl, in a Barbie World... Pink, pink, pink, flowers, plants, a dose of bling, big cushions, swing seats, chandeliers, a small dozen rooms and customised nooks and crannies spread over 2 floors and all devilishly Instagrammable: that's the decor of the White House, a former bank converted into a brunch café. You'll be amazed and the trays will be overflowing as much as the decor. Different formulas including an unusual sweet and salty Moroccan brunch with msemen, dates and olives, honey and goat cheese.
