The best restaurants Wallonie

In the house once owned by his parents in the Plante district, Charles Jeandrain offers gourmet cuisine based on seasonal produce. The hyper-trendy decor is the opposite of the classic style of yesteryear. On the plate, haute cuisine: lobster rubs shoulders with sweetbreads, Iberian pluma, langoustines, turbot and oxtail. The chef also offers Belgian "ocietra" caviar, served with cauliflower, lemon and bread. Reservations recommended. Take-home store and classes to reproduce.

Pompon is much more than a chip shop, it is an institution almost as well known as the Caves themselves. Yeah, that's a bit of an exaggeration In addition to the classic French fries, which are served generously, the restaurant room also features XXL meat cuts and brasserie dishes. Belgian beers complete the picture. Please note that the dishes are also take-away. Just opposite, the tavern Au Vieux Han (same direction) offers a beautiful terrace where you can taste some special beers, including the Corne du Bois du Pendu.

Joseph II of Austria had nicknamed Spa "The Café of Europe". For two hundred years ago, the city attracted numerous personalities from all over the continent to recharge their batteries and enjoy the casinos. Right in the heart of the city, on the Place Royale, this café is designed to reflect this image. You'll be satiated with excellent brewery cuisine and regularly changing suggestions. Concerts, broadcasting of matches... the atmosphere is often lively. The setting has recently been refreshed but the mussels in season are still a must.

For over half a century, Bouboule has been the king of Moules! Offering only the best quality, Bouboule has forged a solid reputation well beyond the city limits of Dinant. The menu features no fewer than 35 mussel specialties (1.2 kg, served with fries), as well as classic suggestions for fish, meat and stews. The view over the Meuse is breathtaking. If you're booked up, the "Bouboule chez soi" option lets you take the pans home with you, including (super-simple) instructions for use!

This charming 13th century farmhouse is home to a family business that has made a very good name for itself today. In a very pleasant rustic decor (exposed beams, red bricks, an imposing fireplace...) you will enjoy simple and well-executed dishes with generous portions. The suggestions change regularly according to the arrivals and the seasons. Beautiful pieces of meat and fish are cooked. The establishment also proposes typical regional dishes: Flemish carbonnade or hot toast with maroilles. You will also appreciate the aperitif board with an assortment of Bruges cheeses and home-made charcuterie. And if you still have room, you can enjoy one of the home-made desserts. The friendliness of the staff completes this country break in all simplicity. We disconnect the time of a meal, and we ask for more.

The terrace is a delight for lovers of picturesque views, between rock, Collegiate Church and Meuse. The menu features "local" beers from the famous Leffe brand. On the food side, the brasserie menu is unsurprisingly well-balanced, with dishes such as jambonneau à la moutarde à l'ancienne, fine cuts of meat, creative salads, and even a choice of different couscous as well as a few suggestions. All unpretentious and reasonably priced, with sauces generously topping the plates for tighter budgets.

In a zen and warm setting, pleasantly mixing contemporary and traditional styles, this restaurant is installed in a former butcher shop. As for the cuisine, originality is the order of the day, with a varied menu of French and local flavours to awaken the taste buds. To accompany these plates a beautiful wine list will be proposed to you. The service is attentive and smiling. The superb shaded terrace, on the courtyard side, allows you to enjoy the beautiful summer days. It is obviously an address to remember!

From the know-how and a sense of warm and warm decoration, you are here in a kind of modern tavern where it is good to dwell. Planks, salads, grills and regional dishes: everyone will find it. Greetings of gray shrimp are the most important, the fries are home, the dishes are rich and greedy. Friendly staff and sunny terrace. The most: a relaxing room upstairs with games for children.

In the renovated buildings of the former National Bank, Quai 10, inaugurated in 2017, is at once a brasserie, a cinema and a video game gaming space. The premises are superb, contemporary, vast and bright, and here you can enjoy local beers and Italian cuisine (risotto with fresh truffles, taglioni alle vongole) with a local touch (carol dumplings, sauce with Charleroi's two beers). Well-crafted, original and hearty dishes. In fine weather, the terrace overlooks the Sambre. Sunday brunch is popular.

Brewery open 7d/7 of 10 to 24h Near the university field of Sart-Tilman (Ulg) Pizza pie starting from 5,50 €

Installed since 1988 in the small town of Bouillon, this restaurant welcomes you in a marine setting. His specialty? Fried mussels! 35 different preparations are proposed à la carte to delight the taste buds. Antonio Ramirez, the boss, has been able to build customer loyalty over the years; thanks to his know-how, his welcome and the quality of his products. The portions are generous. Other Ardennes speciality dishes are also available à la carte for those who are in a group with mussel phobias. Friendly staff and terrace.

The reception of this family restaurant located close to the Lacs de l'eau d'Heure, is provided by Christian and Anne-Marie, the "beekeepers" of this hive, who for four decades now have been looking after the happiness of their customers. Without being omnipresent, the products of the hive (honey or mead) like to mingle with appetence with certain dishes. The terroir is not to be outdone with a wink to some local producers (Ferme de la Sauvenière or Distillerie de Biercée, for example) without forgetting the mead stamped La Ruchette, flavoured or not.

This brasserie, unchanged since the 1970s, is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. An institution, especially for the night owls, but also for the little grandpas who come to remember the good memories here. The decor, unchanging, gives us the impression to be in the cabin of a captain in full expedition at sea. They serve honest double boulets (two boulets liégeois instead of one), salads, croques, vol-au-vent, stews, grills, burgers... All served copiously, washed down with fries, good Belgian beers and at union prices.

Thanks to its independent management, the EHN (Eau d'Heure Nautique) clubhouse is now open to all. And we're not going to complain. The place is particularly pleasant, with an outdoor terrace adorned with rustic tables and benches, and an indoor terrace overlooking the small marina and lake. On the menu at any time of day: tagliatas, entrecôtes, meatballs with homemade tomato sauce, filet américain, burgers, pastas and salads, a jumbled menu of dishes that aren't too fancy, but are good, hearty and reasonably priced.

Vugo receptors are nerve cells located under the tongue that allow us to identify tastes and smells. The choice of this name is easy to understand when you discover the precision and talent brought to each dish. At the Vugo you can enjoy monkfish with mussels and chickpeas or Steevoorde pigeon with polenta. The desserts make the most of the raw ingredients. The friendliness of the young couple in charge adds to the quality of the place. You will definitely come back again and again.

A restaurant-grill, located at the exit of Mouscron, which turns out to be a popular stopover for lovers of meaty meats. Indeed, the grill is running at full capacity - it is the largest Irish meat outlet in the region - and the butcher's cuts have been carefully chosen: beef comes from Ireland and lamb from New Zealand. You will find bone-in ribs, ribs, grills, tabs, skewers and a "Black Angus Burger". All accompanied by vegetables, potatoes and homemade sauces. It doesn't take much to convince the last reluctant ones, all the more so as the atmosphere here is quite convivial.

It is in a green, relaxing and refined setting that you will be welcomed. The Petit Boclé, a magnificent building of character, invites you to share a moment of gastronomic relaxation. French cuisine in flavour, the boss, who cares about the well-being of the customer, works only with fresh and quality products to always enchant your taste buds. A very diversified map puts you in appetite: St-Jacques salad and gambas garlic butter or honey and liver of pan-fried duck to begin this refined meal, duck aiguillettes and its liver pan-fried to continue this gastronomic ballad and why not finish this moment of taste with a champagne sabayon? One of the most beautiful lemon in the region, a terrace and a garden, this is what to spend a pleasant moment in family, or among friends, in a privileged setting.

may 12, 1974, Nivelles hosted its 2nd and last F1 GP. The site reconverted in zoning accommodates in particular this restaurant. The plate is very correct and the decoration of red, black checkers and miniature cars evokes this prestigious past. The ceiling light simulates the circuit, the bottles of wine are waiting on the starting grid. At the billboard, the grilled rib steak carburetted with real fries with beef white. The tifosi will enjoy pizza or a saltimbocca. For a quick pit stop, pick from the salads and sandwiches to go.

In the shadow of Saint-Pierre church, 222 is both a fine restaurant and a wine bar. Wine and food pairings are a success when you let yourself be guided. The menu is that of a brasserie, with an emphasis on grilled meats, simmered dishes (in winter) or pasta and salads (in summer). Regional products are also featured (Orval cheese, Sûre ham). The wine bar offers access to some highly esteemed wines. The setting is in keeping with the menu, and there are regular theme evenings.

A homemade beer, a snack or a real meal, everything is possible at the Taverne de l'Homme Bleu. This attractive brewery in the former stable of the Château de La Hulpe Farm (1833) owes its name to the main character in Folon's work. The place has kept its original decor: red brick walls and floors, high vaulted ceilings and of course the bucolic terrace, a real added value in good weather. Seasonal suggestions escort the brewery dishes and some emblematic Belgian specialities.

Family-run restaurant linked closely to the Blaugies brewery. Seasonal menu of local specialities, some of which are made with beer. Try, for example, the fig pâté made with Darbyste, "Moneuse" bacon or the entrecôte steak. Warm yourself by the open fire in the centre of the room.

A Chinese restaurant that sounds funny, but it's a good thing! True to its reputation, Belgium offers us monstrous plates for a nice price. The dishes are above the average, it's even the end. The happy family menu will delight all guests. Five services! The seafood fondue is a real success. The service is discreet. The frame, uh… Chinese! The best Asian address in the immediate vicinity of Armentières.

The panoramic view of the Époux-Clément restaurant is perfectly striking. Refaite to nine ago, the house proposes, by adapting its card to the seasons, to revisit the classics of the French gastronomy, like the coast of veau cream sauce to morels or the fatty liver of duck served with its brioches in entry. In season, it is the game that holds the top of the poster and when it is nice, taking his meal in the garden, whose view is as beautiful as that of the restaurant, is pure enchantment.

La Carriage welcomes you in a green setting and near Tournai. A gourmet cuisine and well-appointed reception rooms make it an important address to celebrate a particular event: Honour wines, wedding, family reunion… Located in a former brick mill surrounded by a large park, the restaurant offers a creative and varied map in a contemporary setting. Profiteroles stuffed with cheese from Des monks, filet vapeur steam filet, strawberry cappuccino at Leffe Radiant… Capacity level, two halls can accommodate between 20 and 180 guests in meals and 350 in cocktail and wine of honour. Very professional and available, Xavier Brun and his team fold in four so that you will spend an unforgettable time.

This majestic building, located in the heart of a large park, is the fief of the Henneton family. For almost three years therefore, at a jet of stone in Tournai, this excellent table offers both small menus and a gastronomic card. The large room, but also the lounges on the 20 and 25-seat floor, make this charming place an ideal place for weddings, seminars and other occasions to meet. On the map, the trend is to local products. A rabbit with tournaisienne, for example a lunchtime, is a good idea. Fatty livers, meat and fish will make the pleasure of large dominicaux meals.

It's an institution in Mons. The decoration is a bit kitsch (Bécassine and other hanging dolls), the whole is as rustic as the dishes, concocted by the boss following good old Belgian grandmothers' recipes and floor prices, for generous plates. We come to feast on shrimp croquettes or a gargantuan chateaubriand (thick slice of beef). Meat is in the spotlight, and you have to have a hell of an appetite! Ask for the sauce on the side if you're afraid of excessive toppings.

Everything has been done here to recreate the estaminets of yesteryear: wood-burning stove, period furniture and crockery, exposed beams: everything transports us back decades. The kitchen offers simple and generous dishes. You can also taste the local beer, the Hamaide (red beer) or an artisanal juice. The terrace, accessible in summer, is very pleasant. An obligatory stop after visiting the Ecomuseum.

We sit down in one of the small rooms with different atmospheres, always dazzling and most often crowded. Girlfriends' tables appreciate the slightly girly touch of the atmosphere and the menu. In the plate, we are served a contemporary cuisine that is in tune with the seasons. It's contemporary and no stutter: back of cod in coconut milk, tataki of marinated veal, pearl barley risotto with clams and fennel. Everything is nicely presented, copious as it should be and absolutely always served with a big smile.

Located in the heart of the heritage jewel of the Hôpital Notre-Dame à la Rose, La Table d'Alix welcomes you to its brand-new contemporary architecture overlooking the River Dendre. Here, you'll enjoy gourmet, creative cuisine featuring local, seasonal produce and aromatic herbs straight from the hospital garden. From revisited vol-au-vent to homemade pâté, vegan cuisine is also featured. In fine weather, enjoy a moment out of time on the superb terrace, a veritable haven of peace.

Perched above the Chant d'Éole vineyard, the restaurant offers panoramic views of the vines and wind turbines. At the helm, Michelin-starred chef Benoît Neusy promises a delicious journey. His refined cuisine skilfully showcases the estate's produce, with a touch of the exotic. The meal is enhanced by a superb selection of wines, from Belgium and elsewhere, and a sommelier offering excellent advice. The entire team is attentive to your every need, and the chef never hesitates to come into the dining room to chat with guests. An exceptional address.

Marianne and Ronny are originally from Charleroi. Lovers of the Eau d'Heure lakes, they were given the opportunity to set up shop at the Auberge du Coin. Their brasserie-style cuisine is complemented by a number of fine suggestions, including a few well-executed dishes featuring local beer. The pleasant atmosphere makes you want to prolong the moment, so you'll want to check out the drinks menu, which features a fine selection of regional mousses and a variety of cocktails. Terrace to take the temperature before a dip in the lakes.

I'm a Barbie Girl, in a Barbie World... Pink, pink, pink, flowers, plants, a dose of bling, big cushions, swing seats, chandeliers, a small dozen rooms and customised nooks and crannies spread over 2 floors and all devilishly Instagrammable: that's the decor of the White House, a former bank converted into a brunch café. You'll be amazed and the trays will be overflowing as much as the decor. Different formulas including an unusual sweet and salty Moroccan brunch with msemen, dates and olives, honey and goat cheese.

This pretty restaurant/tea room, well known to Tournaisians, has just moved to a new location in 2022. It's a brand-new, all-new, but just as cosy space that awaits you. At the helm, the smiling Sandra Raeymaekers is there to welcome you from breakfast to aperitif time. As in the old establishment, there's plenty of white, plants and wood, and as before, all the dishes (snacks, salads, quiches, soups, tartines, hot dishes, pastries...) are homemade, healthy and delicious.

Sophie and Steven opened Le Bagù in October 2022, and they're already raking in the compliments. The name suggests a Mediterranean influence on the menu (change B to R and you get ragù). The menu is short, in keeping with the seasons. Careful bistronomic cooking, original combinations, a surprising wine list and a cosy atmosphere (admire the wallpaper) put everyone in agreement. The icing on the cake: friendly, attentive service and a large terrace to enjoy the fine weather.

Pierre and Julie De Bidart, brother and sister, have taken over a beautiful mansion facing Place de la Digue. The gourmet restaurant's interior boasts well-spaced tables, a hushed ambience and sober decor. The chef serves up generous, meticulously prepared dishes. His cuisine has a slightly fusion flavour. The choice is limited to a lunch menu (with a choice of 3 or 4 courses) that changes every week. A vegan menu is also available, as is take-out by reservation. Interesting selection of wine packages.

Situated in the exceptional and authentic setting of the Abbey of Bonne-Espérance, this tavern-restaurant is a delight for hikers, cyclists and families looking for a nice stopover. They come here to sample the region's artisanal and local products. The star product on the menu is Bonne Espérance beer, produced by the Binchoise brewery. The restaurant boasts a lovely terrace in a peaceful, leafy setting. The warm welcome of chef Gessy and her team is much appreciated.

Looking for an introduction to Walloon gastronomy? Here's a warm, no-fuss place where you can eat well and locally. At Le Camerluche (which means "comrade" in slang), you'll receive a warm welcome (thanks to chef Loïc, the wood and the fireplace), and your belly will be filled with Chimay escabeche, beer-battered rabbit legs, horse fillet or pork chop à l'berdouille, a delicious local specialty with a sauce made from mustard, vinegar and chopped gherkins. The selection of craft beers is not to be outdone.

Gaston Vouzôte (vouzôte being a local expression meaning "you people") is a contemporary luxury brasserie. An institution firmly rooted in its terroir, blending French and Belgian culinary cultures: escargots from Kain (near Tournai), seasonal terrine, blanquette de veau... Alongside this, you'll find a whole selection of Irish or Argentine beef grilled in a Mibrasa oven. Come with your stomach wide open, as the portions are copious. Cheerful service and a full terrace as soon as the sun comes out.

A restaurant and cafeteria in Grand-Hornu, Rizom's menu reflects the melting pot of people who used to work in the coal mines, and draws its inspiration from a variety of roots: Belgian, French, Italian, Spanish, sprinkled with Asian touches. Starters and seasonal dishes are available in veg, fish or meat versions, but the plates are always small masterpieces with lively yet balanced flavors. Also of note are the 3 different accompaniment formulas: Belgian wines, beers and non-alcoholic fermentations. Designer decor.

Watch out for the pun!Socio, because there are plenty of antipasti to share, and pasta, because the rest of the menu is made up of... pasta. Steven Mirelli's restaurant offers only homemade pasta, from classics (superb rigatoni amatriciana with crispy guanciale) to more daring suggestions of the day. For dessert? Tiramisu, rum baba and affogatto al caffè! Sitting at the counter, you can admire the chefs at work. As for the dining room, it's stylish, warm and welcoming. Also available to take away.

Ideally located on Tournai's Grand'Place, L'Olivia brasserie is first and foremost the dream of John Thys, who runs the establishment with great enthusiasm! It's the ideal place to have a drink with friends and share a delicious meal! It's truly a place for sharing and festive moments. L'Olivia offers an ever-changing menu, as well as daily lunchtime suggestions. Let yourself be guided by a welcoming and dynamic team. The cosy setting and pleasant terrace in fine weather guarantee a truly relaxing moment!

It's the perfect place to stop off after a visit to the abbey. Housed in a vaulted cellar dating from the Middle Ages, the place is full of charm. In fine weather, it has a lovely terrace. Stop in to sample the abbey's beers, as well as its homemade dishes and desserts. On the menu are Belgian specialties (carbonnade de boeuf, stoemp saucisses, moelleux de viande au fromage de l'abbaye), as well as salads and burgers. Service is a little slow, but it's worth the wait, as everything is prepared with quality local produce.

Opening 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 !
