The best French cuisine restaurants Liège

Attention, original concept! The idea is simple: compose your salad as you wish. You choose the base (iceberg, arugula, rice, pasta, quinoa, etc.), then the dressing and the ingredients that will make it a marvel. There's a vast choice of fresh produce (tomatoes, avocado, pine nuts, feta, bacon, chicken, grilled eggplants, walnuts...). A few suggestions are on the menu, such as the Caesar salad with its special anchovy vinaigrette. The place, with its industrial allure, is an ideal stop-off point for a quick, healthy lunch.

Thierry Marée has been at the helm of this Liège-style Lyonnais bistro for almost 20 years. The warm decor of this thatched cottage with its copper pots and pans. Sitting on one of the wooden benches, you'll be tempted by pork snout remoulade, genuine Liège-style meatballs, some of the best in the city, oven-baked knuckle of ham... A must-try is the truffled oeuf cocotte with foie gras mouillettes, a real delight. A fine menu of traditional dishes washed down with fine vintages or Lyonnais pots.

This is one of the most pleasant addresses with its large terrace on the banks of the Meuse in the summer. At the head of the updated sign, Max Guldentops and Gregory Franchi. Here the decoration is modern, very clean and bright, offering an absolute view of the river. A place that offers dishes ranging from the simplest brasserie dishes (prepared American, scampi friti, vitello tonato...) to the noblest such as lobster or cod back and other fresh fish, so that you can open their menu to all wallets and desires.

Here's an old mansion transformed into a wine bar, offering nearly 70 wines by the bottle and 25 by the glass. The room is decorated in a chic recycled style, with a cosy, trendy feel. From here, the open-plan kitchen offers permanent show cooking (which you can visit if you wish), as well as a vegetable kitchen. The à la carte menu includes momenties, tapas combining French and Mediterranean cuisine, and a bistronomic menu offering 3 or 5-course menus, including an entirely vegetarian menu featuring seasonal vegetables.

Taken over at the end of 2023, this institution of Liège's gastronomic landscape has benefited from a refreshment while retaining the unique style of the place. The traditional Art Deco brasserie is unique in the region. The kitchen offers a variety of lobster dishes. The menu evolves with the seasons. The seafood platter features oysters, clams, mussels, langoustines, half clams, shrimps and periwinkles. You'll also appreciate the shrimp croquettes, considered the best in the city, as well as the genuine Liège coffee.

Yannick is what we call a traditional saucier. When it comes to game, he makes his stock from crushed bones and binds his sauces with blood: the result is simply divine. The cuisine served here is truly traditional and local, with a Franco-Belgian accent. Like the hare à la royale, which requires such tedious preparation that it has disappeared from most restaurant menus. It's so much a part of our heritage that it could even be called "museum" cuisine. But Yannick also adapts his menu to the market and the seasons.
