Bib Gourmand€€Modern French
A colourful, cartoon-inspired chicken adorns this small bistro, but the real draw is Arnaud Molle. This seasoned chef lets his creativity run riot in regularly changing menus. You may sample grilled stuffed quail or pheasant à la brabançonne (with bacon and endive). His score is flavoursome, original and geared towards showcasing fresh produce as he harnesses his culinary talents to enhancing each ingredient’s purity! The meat, from his parent’s butchery, is first class and the prices are truly eater friendly!

“What you see is what you get” could well be the baseline of this lovely farmstead depicted by old oak rafters, bare brick walls and a terrace that makes the most of its idyllic rural setting. The seasoned chef has perfected the art of sourcing first-class local produce. Her eggs are perfectly cooked at exactly 62°C and garnished with a flavoursome espuma of mashed potato and crunchy chicory, unless you wouldn’t prefer a much-loved Belgian staple: steak, fresh fries and a pepper sauce? One thing is certain: everything here bears the hallmark of tradition. All that remains is to choose between
