€€€Country cooking, Modern Cuisine
Delys is a haven of design depicted by a chic black colour scheme. Intimacy and mystery set the stage, while floor-to-ceiling windows seem to invite the countryside indoors. Be it for a quick lunch or a more leisurely dinner, chef Doucet’s modern approach always hits the spot. He avows a weakness for crisp, legible, contrasting flavours. For example, he may add an exuberant edge to lightly poached Atlantic cod courtesy of lemon zest and a subtly smoky mushroom stock. Doucet leaves his heroic, distinctive stamp on each dish thanks to sensitive nuances.
€€Farm to table
The lovely countryside around this village is just the ticket for a weekend getaway and where better to start than on the delightful terrace of this quintessentially relaxing edifice? The same mood prevails inside courtesy of a setting oozing in authenticity and serenity. The generous chef is a dab hand at classical cooking, to which he may add a scattering of modern, even global accents. For example, he might sear local asparagus until crispy on a plancha, adding a flamboyant note with ricotta cream laced in lemon, or a fresh, acidic beurre blanc and a herby oil.

TripAdvisor review sample · 3.6/5 · 80 reviews
Un temps pour Soi in Amay focuses on farm-to-table dining with mixed reviews. Food quality is polarizing; while some praise the refined dishes and quality ingredients, others report dry meat, bland flavors, and cooking errors. Service varies significantly, ranging from attentive and professional to cold and unhelpful, including incidents where staff refused to open umbrellas. The atmosphere is generally cozy and well-decorated, though outdoor seating can be noisy due to nearby traffic. Portion sizes are frequently criticized as insufficient. Although some find the value acceptable, others feel the price does not match the inconsistent quality.
Suitable for diners tolerant of inconsistent quality and service, with advice to check noise levels for outdoor seating.
