Dining
Vilain
Vilain offers a choice of 10 to 15 small dishes to share that change weekly depending on what is available locally. Examples include carpaccio of red beetroot in a fruity shiso- and Japanese vinegar-laced dressing, or country pâté en croûte with gherkins and mustard. The accent is on uninhibited, intuitive cuisine, without forgetting the odd international influence. The wine list is a treasure trove of natural and organic tipples. The interior, which overlooks the garden, sports a fashionably upbeat vintage vibe, overflowing in good cheer with a jazzy soundtrack playing in the background.
WebsiteTable et Vin
Shelves laden with innumerable wine bottles immediately catch the eye as you enter this inviting gourmet eatery-cum-wine cellar. Master sommelier Thierry Jacques welcomes you warmly before sharing the secrets of his lovingly curated selection. Next, chef Husson takes the stage, rolling out a spot-on, wholehearted repertory that is showcased in a set menu with a wide range of choices. Examples include melt-in-the-mouth pig's feet with a terrine of foie gras, lentils, a powerful stock and tarragon that adds an invigorating kick. Food from a bygone era, oozing with wholesome, big-boned flavours.
WebsiteWan Thai Food
A meal at Wan Thai Food is an education in just how irresistible authentic Thai cuisine can be. The decor featuring plenty of wood and bamboo, lanterns, Buddha statues and other Asian-inspired touches has a distinct street food feel. The extensive menu features all the classic dishes of the genre, freshly prepared by chef Wanna. Tempting options include handmade chicken gyoza served with an exquisite umami-rich soy sauce, as well as a rich fruity and spicy curry with perfectly seared scallops. The delicious sauces are definitely worth a mention! Why not add a refreshing cocktail to your order
WebsiteChez Duche
You can expect unadorned dishes that throb with flavour in what is the epitome of a neighbourhood eatery: rib of horse meat with house-made fries, lavishly served cassoulet, piled high with duck confit and Toulouse sausage or a waterzooi of seasonal veggies. A patriotic pageant of French and Belgian classics prepared and served with textbook precision and generosity. Chez Duche has been feeding us well since 1993!
WebsiteL'esprit Bouddha
Light years from the clichés traditionally associated with Chinese restaurants, l’Esprit Bouddha is a modern establishment on a permanent quest for subtlety, but that hasn’t forgotten its roots for all that. Start your meal with beef gyoza, before digging into finger-licking tasty little house pancakes stuffed with crisp Peking duck, vegetables and a punchy hoisin sauce. The epitome of Asian generosity with an absolutely knockout wine list.
WebsiteTA-K Venir
Philippo Santangelo and his right-arm man John Oremans extend an invitation to discover a bistronomic lineup in their tastefully appointed townhouse and lovely adjoining garden. Pedigree bistro classics like duck shepherd’s pie are crafted with lashings of know-how and technique. The chef professes a distinct weakness for la cucina italiana, depicted by crispy fritters stuffed with rigatello and guanciale, or al dente taglioni with a velvety parmesan sauce and juicy mussels. The first-class wine list is yet another argument to encourage you to plan an excursion to Mont-sur-Marchienne.
