The best French cuisine restaurants Pays de Herve

At the helm is Sébastien Brela, who cut his teeth at Charmes-Chambertin. His cuisine is subtle and full of flavor, using the finest produce, often from the Herve region. The service is as elegant as the menu, which changes every two months. Meat and fish are given pride of place, but vegetarians are not forgotten, with options for starters and main courses. On Wednesday and Thursday evenings, a menu available in addition to the usual formulas allows diners to sample the chef's three-course cuisine, with aperitif, wine and coffee included.

An old house with an old-fashioned interior, where the fireplace, old floors and exposed beams create a warm atmosphere, where you can enjoy traditional, well-crafted French cuisine. Specialties (homemade foie gras, calf's head, knuckle of ham), salads, but also daily specials at union prices, a great way to enjoy a hearty, tasty lunch. There's always a great atmosphere in this front bar. The thirty-seat terrace is ideally positioned for enjoying the sunshine in the peaceful village of Thimister.

Contemporary frame and graphic plates form here... a pair just as we like them. Franck and his daughters develop their love for the local culture, wines and cheeses. In addition to a menu featuring the region's producers, the wine cellar is well stocked and a maturing cellar of the local star. Franck has even developed a "herve" matured in Vacqueyras (wine from the Rhone village twinned with Herve), closing the loop in his own way. In the inner courtyard, two terraces also invite you to sip a cocktail in a lounge atmosphere.

Grégory Laeremans has opened his restaurant, assisted by Maxime in the dining room and as sommelier. The focus is clearly on gastronomy, with a strong organic connotation, particularly for vegetables. Vegetables are adapted to the seasons, as is foie gras, which the chef also likes to work with. From the bread to the garnish, absolutely everything is made in-house. As for the wine list, it boasts some sixty organic or integrated wines. The wines come from France, Italy and Belgium.
