Located on a sunny hill of the "Vallée de la Vire"In the heart of Gaume : natural and cultural heritageWarm and rustic place, full of o thousand years history

In her beautiful mansion on Avenue Brugmann, Sofia welcomes guests in her living room and does her utmost to make them feel at home. She has opted for the age-old recipes of "mother's cooking". The gastronomic menu was created by a talented and renowned Greek chef: Nikolas Moros. Koyzina offers a range of products of Greek origin: spices, condiments, olive oil... Greek cuisine is "homey" and reassuring with a gastronomic touch. Also open to modernity, Sofia offers a range of vegetarian and gluten-free suggestions.

Brasserie cuisine and a Belgian-Brussels atmosphere with the comings and goings of cheerful waiters. Sauerkraut, game, stoemps, products from the peeler's bench and a few classics of bourgeois cuisine, are all served in this former post house known to all! A beautiful outdoor terrace, built on the roof of one of the rooms, lends itself to the most convivial summer meals. Adjacent to the restaurant, the catering area offers an improved everyday cuisine 7 days a week. Some fine products and a nice selection of wines (organic, biodynamic...).

For thirty years, Le Thème has been creating a buzz. And with good reason: Michel Bebelman changes his "theme" every two years, in collaboration with a team of decorators. The atmosphere is warm and romantic, and the cuisine original, fine and well adapted to the themes. The menus change every month, always in keeping with the setting of the moment and accompanied by their selection of perfectly matched wines, as the owner is a trained sommelier. We go there as lovers to share a moment out of the world and out of time.

Two very courageous owners have embarked on this original and exotic project, which is a welcome change from traditional Liège cuisine. Ndeye Mour N'diaye is Senegalese and masters her cuisine perfectly: acras, moambe or oclombo chicken, duck with mango, thieboudienne, grilled sea bream with Senegalese herbs... The sun (even in the middle of winter) and the flavors of Africa and the Caribbean are reflected in the dishes, which are copious, appetizing and affordable. As for service, Fabienne Servais is on hand to advise guests. What's more, the mixed-race setting is very cute.

Jean-Luc Collin's beautiful brasserie was born in the 1900s and was then called Café de l'Espérance. It honours the winegrowers with a hundred or so wines on the menu, including quite a few natural or biodynamic wines. Inside, there is a restaurant area, a brasserie area and an open kitchen where you can keep an eye on the brasserie or local dishes, good cuts of meat or offal such as brains and marrow bones. Non-stop scaling and take-away seafood, suggestions and excellent lunch. Pleasant and professional service.

Guido, your host, offers you an authentic, regional and full-flavoured cuisine. Situated in the countryside of Rollegem, 15 minutes drive from the centre of Kortrijk, all the chef's dishes are cooked with quality products. Some even come from the restaurant's own vegetable garden! Guido will make you discover or rediscover the specialties of the region with a lot of passion. On the menu you will find rabbit à l'Orval, duck breast with orange sauce, smoked pork fillet à la Westmalle. On the sweet side, there are classics such as crème brûlée, tiramisu or iced nougat. There is also a bar if you just want to stop here to quench your thirst with a good Belgian beer after a long bike ride.

A handful of à la carte options, and that's it! The cuisine is highly inventive, sophisticated and flexitarian (with vegetarian options), featuring light emulsions, vegetables full of freshness, color, rare scents and tastes and, a house specialty, decorative flowers. For starters, the mi-cuit of organic beef, beet, micro-herb salad, almonds, aged goat's cheese and balsamic vinaigrette was divine, as was the peach of the day (lemon verbena sauce) and its mashed potatoes and organic celeriac.

One of our favorite addresses in the beautiful Pays de Herve, amidst the orchards of the plateau. The chef clearly likes to cook with an exotic touch: vegetarian wok with noodles and crunchy vegetables, grilled and spicy Thai beef salad, lamb mouse confit and tajine-style vegetables... We're fans of this cuisine, which moves from bistronomy to zenitude. The wine list caters for all price ranges. There's also a magnificent south-facing terrace on the garden lawn. The large dining room is also very welcoming. A must-try establishment.

If the sign sets the tone for possible dissatisfaction, it's full and happy that we leave here. You'll marvel at the fine Spanish-influenced tapas, which are more convivial when shared. But above all, the small plates are very creative, not hesitating to marry savory and sweet, like these roasted sweet potatoes with fresh goat's cheese and tomato chutney. Or the grilled octopus with hazelnut sauce, the dish's secret weapon. Rolling on the floor. Reservations are highly recommended, as this is one of the best addresses in town.

This gourmet restaurant occupies the majestic dining room of the Héritage Relais & Châteaux hotel in the heart of Bruges. White tablecloths, a fireplace and princely decor combine with impeccable service and top-notch dishes. Chef Raoul de Koning uses top-quality seasonal and local produce. Noble yet classic ingredients are magnified by exotic touches, such as lamb curry with fried asparagus or veal fillet in a wine sauce with marrow. A very fine address!

The restaurant at Le Moulin is an impressive sight in front of the abbey. In the tasting rooms, tavern and terrace on the first floor, you'll enjoy plates garnished with local produce such as Herve or des Moines cheeses, served under cloche, as well as vol-au-vent or omelette du Val, a delicacy washed down with a beer. All are happy to meet here: loyal lovers of the place, locals and tourists alike. A great Belgian getaway, whatever your choice of stop. Don't forget to take a look at the mill's impressive trough wheel.

Elegant, welcoming, old-French setting in the former Tanneurs workshops, now the Hôtel des Tanneurs. The chef is Hubert Quairiat, equally at ease with products from both land and sea, and capable of combining creativity, tradition and presentation without false notes. The easiest way to see for yourself is to opt for one of the menus (Espiègle, Balade or Gourmand), a total mastery. There's a reason why this restaurant, which has been one of Namur's top addresses since 1988, attracts so many gourmets.

Formerly Au Gré des Saisons, the restaurant underwent a transformation at the end of 2023: following renovation work, it changed its name to L'Empreinte. Still at the helm, young and innovative chef Manu Fiévet offers chic and trendy gourmet dining. He combines creativity and taste with market and seasonal cuisine, using fresh produce. His dishes are tasty, aesthetically pleasing and colorful. The plates are highly refined in nouvelle cuisine style. The dining room is as elegant as the plate.

Owned by the Trappist beers of Chimay, the Auberge represents the beers and cheeses of the same name in the store or on the menu. A must-see destination, the Auberge offers a restaurant with Chimay flavors, a brewery, a boutique, a hotel and the famous Chimay Experience Museum. In addition to the numerous dishes cooked with the local Trappist, Poteaupré is a privileged place to discover the particular vintages and almost all the Chimay on cask. To digest all this, several walks start from the inn.

A good, old-fashioned address, where the ambient red (gingham tablecloths, tables and chairs...) is enhanced by dedications from personalities and artists who have one day tasted this cuisine in the form of a love affair with local produce. Local and international. On the menu, jambonneau au gratin, groin de cochon, entrecôte de boeuf and cassoulet are all firm favourites. You'll also want to come for the warm welcome: boss Dominique Renson is a dry wit who doesn't take any crap! He produces an exclusive and delicious aperitif, the Florange.

Frédéric Maquin is one of the most discreet, focused and perfectionist chefs in Liège. The menu changes regularly with the seasons, accompanied by a suggestion of the moment. Inventive and imaginative, it revisits the classics. Dishes that reflect her cuisine include filet de biche served with poivrade, cranberries, parsnips, chanterelles and chicon, or cod with cabbage, charlotte crush, ginger and peanuts. The lobster menu is available by reservation only, and must be ordered 48 hours in advance.

The Eating Garage is a natural extension of Brussels' most famous foodtruck, El Camion. In direct connection with the Pêle-Mêle bookstore in Ixelles, one can go from one to the other to satisfy one's thirst for knowledge and entertainment, but also one's appetite for quality food... One can stop there to have a bite to eat at lunchtime or in the evening, savor a piece of cake with a coffee in the afternoon to take a breather, taste natural wines or artisanal beers, or even have brunch with one's family on the weekend.

In this former medieval butcher's shop of the 15th century, you can taste the products of Eastern Flanders in the form of tapas at affordable prices, that you pick with your glass, unless you opt for the dish of the day. The building is impressive. A glazed and heated prefabricated structure was built inside to eat in warmth in winter. In the summer, the tables are spread out under the roof. All products are bought directly from the producers and sold in the adjacent store: cold cuts, cheeses, mustard, juniper...

Housed, as its name suggests, in a former malt factory, this small restaurant serving French and Belgian cuisine offers carefully prepared dishes in a family atmosphere. Chef François Nicolas' passion for local produce is evident both on the menu (which features only fresh, seasonal produce) and in the adjoining store, which features beer and cheese. Trout escaveche, poultry stuffed with Chimay cheese, sweetbreads braised with Chimay rouge... tasty, well-presented dishes, many of them concocted with beer.

Eddy's, its checkered tablecloths, its old butcher's shop setting... The cuisine is a range of Brussels-Brabant classics. We eat the best vol-au-vent within a 10 km radius, the American is prepared or served with all the ingredients to season it yourself, the duo of blood sausages is copious and absolutely sticks to the idea we have of it, compote and home-made purée. We validate the toast with mushrooms and we recall the inevitable mussels in season. The "royal" French toast does not usurp its qualification: soaked in milk, currants and vanilla ball.

To say that this is a trendy brasserie would be an understatement. The Art Nouveau decor and atmosphere are very pleasant and the terrace offers a free observation point of the passers-by. But the main motivation for a visit remains the menu. The beer menu (more than 90 beers, 6 of which are on draught) and the brewery dishes. The quality depends on the day. At times it is very good, at others the cooking is below their capabilities, but this shows that the cuisine is not formatted. A positive point, in short.

Here, it's the trout that sets the tone; meunière, i.e. salted, peppered and pan-fried, in the same way as it has been for forty years, accompanied by bacon potatoes. There's also sauerkraut in winter, and touffaye (order 48 hours in advance), a regional dish based on pork ribs, sausage from Gaumaise and those delicious potatoes known as "plates de Florenville". As well as the famous trout, the menu includes an omelette, ham on the bone, quiche with Orval cheese and pâté gaumais. The place is wonderfully secluded in the forest.

Lift a veil on the soul of Brussels by entering this "Mouche folle". It plays the Belgian card to the hilt: you sit on beer racks, record covers of the greatest artists of the 1960s and 1980s adorn the menus and walls... On the menu, you will find the dishes of grandmothers: carbonnades, chicon au gratin, chicken compote... and of course, French fries. All homemade, at a reasonable price. Nice beer list. On Saturdays, you can sway to the sounds of DJ-Has-Been or dance to the Thé Dansant of DJ Naphtaline on Sundays.

This restaurant is not at the cutting edge of modernity? No matter, this cuisine has been a success for more than thirty years. You can enjoy bourgeois dishes and it would be a mistake to forget this beautiful restaurant. We will evoke a sharp classicism where the French cuisine plays its scales. A few pasta dishes are a reminder of Pascal Romano's transalpine origins. The service is provided with elegance while you are comfortably seated. The setting and the bright decoration of this 1900's style house offer refinement as a guiding principle. A must!

Carl Gillain remained at the helm but Agathopède changed its name to a more corporate name. More convivial and with less fuss, the restaurant of the Royal Snail hotel opted for bistronomy. We eat at the bar or on low tables if we wish, we have an unpretentious aperitif before continuing with the plates served à la carte. The ex-second-in-command of Comme Chez Soi opted for a 90-degree turn in the spirit of the times, another emblematic address where he also made his mark. Bosses break codes and we love it!

The restaurant has taken up residence within the walls of Millésime, which used to delight taste buds in the neighborhood. The atmosphere is elegant and refined, and the kitchen is - curiously - open and visible from the sidewalk. Perhaps that's where the improbable lies! The menu, made with fresh, seasonal produce, changes according to the ingredients available. Geographically unclassifiable as it moves the guest around according to the chef's creations, l'Improbable's cuisine is ultimately above all bistronomic!
