Fun and entertainment Hainaut belge

While brewing at Deca's Woeste facility until 2005, Nino Bacelle and Guido Devos then crossed the language border to establish their facilities in Dottignies, near Mouscron. At De Ranke, the importance of hops is not negligible. Hop extracts are out of the question. Here, we use real hop cones from Poperinge and Warneton. Their reputation is well established, and in their tap room you can try out their XX Bitter, Noir de Dottignies or Guldenberg, a typical abbey beer.

Located in the Imagix cinema complex, Brasse-Temps is more than just a tavern-restaurant, it's also a microbrewery. The beers are brewed on site by Brasserie Dubuisson, the owner of the premises and "inventor" of the concept, which is also available in Froyennes (Tournai) and Charleroi. The catering, a "Parisian brasserie" style with local accents, is prepared by Moresto catering and adapted to the various house beers.....

A real festive institution in Tournai, Le Bouchon is a cult for the passion it puts into beer more than for the number of labels on the menu. Local or artisanal breweries are honored, from Hainaut or elsewhere: Cazeau, Dupont, Dubuisson, de la Senne, Boon, Cantillon... A beer is more specifically highlighted each week. A small stage allows various musical groups to perform in an indescribable good mood.

A few steps from the Grand-Place, this café seems to have remained intact since the 1900s. One meets here a flock of regulars. At noon, you can pick from the small menu to have a quick lunch (sandwiches, salads, daily specials...), and the rest of the time you can enjoy the good Belgian beers. As its name indicates, the atmosphere of this small establishment is warm, friendly, so much so that this nice café is sometimes overwhelmed with customers looking for an authentic setting that represents so well the conviviality of the Tournaisiens!

It's a bit ofEnglish Touch that has settled in the City of Doudou with Paddington. As soon as you see the sign (in the shape of a London subway sign), you are immediately drawn into the bath of this charming tea room: flowery wallpaper, big carpet, comfortable armchairs and kitschy porcelain and cushions: all the codes of the tea room are there. You can stop there to drink one, because it would be a shame to miss theAfternoon tea served in the right way: with sandwiches, pastries and delicious scones, all home-made.
