Bib Gourmand€€Traditional Cuisine, Modern French
Frank and Caty have refurbished this farm which is almost on the doorstop of the Trappist abbey that brews the legendary Chimay beer. Wholesome family favourites continue to dominate the menu of this welcoming farmstead. Examples include Bigorre black pig: cutlets in a gutsy BBQ sauce, fork-tender cheeks and croquettes of leg, flanked by a velvety potato mousseline and a big-boned pork gravy. As well as championing premium produce like sole and calf’s sweetbread, the chef manages to keep his prices sensible. An enticing mix of authenticity and generosity depicts this country inn.

Bib Gourmand€€Regional Cuisine
The Corman brothers have been at the helm of this vintage looking restaurant for over 25 years. In the Absinthe bistro, the accent is on soul-warming fare such as Chimay-flavoured cheese fritters, duck cassoulet and veal stew.

For example, the chef might pair salmon marinated in herbs with different textures of red beetroot, green apple, a gherkin mousse and a few dabs of balsamic vinegar. This delicate feast can be washed down with one of the fine bottles that come from the next-door wine shop. To fi
