The best French cuisine restaurants Wavre

A veritable institution referring to the speciality of yesteryear, La Tartine is a very simple restaurant set in a pretty house with an outdoor terrace. Whether you're hungry for a snack, coffee, crêpe or craft beer, this former bistro is a favorite. The menu features comforting classic Belgian brasserie dishes that are invigorating in winter and refreshing in summer. La Tartine has a room with a stage, and an old-fashioned bowling alley for private parties. A universe of variable geometry. A warm welcome guaranteed.

The former Jauche railway station is a rather unusual location for a restaurant. In 2004, Luc Van den Bossche and Olivier Hebrant took it over and refurbished it according to their tastes. Luc is in charge of the dining room, and Olivier is in charge of the stove, concocting delicious French dishes with a meat focus (various cuts of beef), a delicious cassoulet as in the South-West, and sauerkraut in winter. Where Olivier has the most fun is with his ever-changing seasonal suggestions: beautiful, colorful plates, full of elegance.

Originally located on the Grand Place in Jodoigne, Portes du Temps has now moved to the Chaussée de Tirlemont. The friendly little bar has been transformed into a fine gourmet brasserie, with a decor that combines quality natural materials with harmony and simplicity. White walls, flagstones of Soignies blue stone on the floor and large picture windows opening onto the terrace and beautiful garden. On the menu and in the dining room, Christine Saintenoy favors quality local produce and seasonal vegetables wherever possible. A great address in Jodoigne!

La Guinguette is the unpretentious resto-bar of Renipont-plage, a charming summer and aquatic leisure centre in Walloon Brabant. This rustic troquet guarantees a healthy, fresh, good and cheap cuisine, for various hungers and specific desires: steak, bolo, salads, soups, hamburger, chicken, with or without fries, nothing very complex but invigorating and well prepared. We appreciate the place for its bucolic setting. The terrace at the edge of this tide-free body of water is really very pleasant from spring to fall.

This young restaurant (opening in 2019) is headed by a young chef, 30-year-old Maxime Van Bellingen. A young team is on hand to serve you in a beautiful dining room that's both rustic with its wooden furniture and contemporary with its exposed brick walls. Maxime's background is in fish, and it shows! He pays great attention to seafood. Everything is extra fresh, in season, local whenever possible, and the dishes are a feast for the eyes and taste buds. A breath of fresh air on the local culinary scene!
