LA SUCRERIE
Read moreRestaurant at the Hotel Van der Valk. The preserved setting of this former sugar factory is original, spacious and comfortable. The pleasant, no-nonsense contemporary cuisine features seasonal dishes with French, Belgian and Italian influences, using quality produce. At lunchtime, the buffet opens its doors, and on Sundays, it transforms into a sumptuous brunch. Even if you're not a hotel guest, you can still enjoy a hearty breakfast here. Other advantages include a lovely summer terrace and an attractive cocktail bar.
LA PÂTE ET OSE
Read moreAt the helm are Gérard and Stanny, who have been sharing their 15 years of experience in the kitchen and dining room. The dishes are prepared in the house, which has a pretty room with exposed brick walls, but they can be enjoyed on the terrace, a must in summer. You can enjoy fresh pasta, a speciality of the house, following Italian recipes or others made with local ingredients. A seasonal suggestion card completes the menu. We loved the Bauletti with porcini mushrooms, oyster mushroom cream, fine herbs with a hint of garlic
LA PLANCHE D'AILLEURS
Read moreOpening in 2019, La Planche d'Ailleurs takes the stylistic codes of its predecessor, only better. You can sit on the pretty terrace away from the peri-urban bustle. But we prefer the interior, which is so worth a look. Solid wood floors and tables, contemporary chairs of the most beautiful effect, we love it. The menu is surprising and explains the name of the place: the meats are from elsewhere! The least exotic is undoubtedly the pata negra, that's saying something! Next to it, guanaco or zebra (!) filet, reindeer... Exotic we tell you !
COMMERCIO
Read moreNot so long ago, Isabelle Browet and Yves Delruelle took over this Waterloo establishment, which has been in existence for over 20 years. This little restaurant serves classic, homemade dishes (a whole range of pasta dishes, duck breast, sole meunière...) in a vintage setting and a no-frills atmosphere (Waterloo is known for being rather posh) at reasonable prices. A rather exceptional feature: the restaurant is open late, until midnight on weekdays and 2 a.m. on weekends! The back terrace is particularly pleasant.
LE DESTIN
Read moreThis 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!
