Surrealist art by Marcel Duchamp and Jacques Charlier sets the distinctive arty scene in this colourful restaurant, enhanced by a warm welcome and a cornucopia of luxury details. Head for the patio in fine weather to make the most of the historic village of Durbuy. Rather than surrealistic, the food embodies the essence of a Michelin one-star establishment: taste! Renowned chef Wout Bru lets his ingenious creations and deftly crafted dishes speak for themselves, zooming in on outstanding produce, which he flanks with unexpected combinations oozing with Mediterranean charm. Langoustine, cooked

La Table de Manon

★ Michelin€€French Contemporary

Manon Schenck, who is nothing if not spunky, focuses mainly on fish and shellfish, with a weakness for lobster, in a region of Belgium that is renowned for its game! Her seafood score is strongly influenced by Alsace, her place of birth, by Brittany, where she worked for a long time and by her country of adoption, the Belgian Ardennes. Heart-warming food and service in a tasteful contemporary interior. Heaven for foodies! Manon has grown in confidence and daring. Her close ties with Brittany fishermen ensure the premium quality and freshness of her ingredients. In addition to the seasonal menu

You have arrived in one of the most beautiful villages of Wallonia. Eminently picturesque and set in woodland, Wéris is also home to this characterful restaurant.

Bib Gourmand 2

Durbuy Ô

Bib Gourmand€€Traditional Cuisine, Country cooking

It is always a pleasure to stroll around the picturesque small town of Durbuy. In their establishment, which also has a few guestrooms, Koen and Laurence immediately put you at ease by the warmth of their welcome. Skill, tranquillity and pleasure are the watchwords in the open-plan kitchen. While the chef clearly draws on his traditional background, he is far from averse to adding a modern spin to a patriotic lineup. For example, he may coat glazed langoustine with melted lardo, which is then paired with velvety risotto and a knockout gravy. Rather than showy gimmicks, the focus is on made-to-

Durbuy Ô specializes in traditional country cuisine, praised for high-quality ingredients, refined presentation, and excellent meat and cheese dishes. Located two kilometers from downtown in a quiet, green setting, the restaurant offers a cozy and informal atmosphere. Service is generally warm and friendly, though some guests report slow pacing during peak times, with waits exceeding an hour between courses. Occasional confusion regarding opening hours has also been noted. While the culinary experience is highly rated, diners should be mindful of potential delays in service timing.

La Maison Thai

Bib Gourmand€€Thai

Adorned in wood carvings in tropical hardwoods, Buddha statues and paintings from the Far East, the setting is as charming as its name suggests (we especially love the room to the rear). The options on the expansive menu are every bit as authentic as the decor. Savour the classic aromas and depth of flavour of succulent chicken thigh in a fragrant massaman curry, or heavenly sweet and sour chilli sauce that elevates fresh spring rolls: a meal here is a leisurely culinary journey with these timeless dishes. Fans of Thai fondue have also come to the right place, but be sure to pre-order.

Wagyu

€€€Meats and Grills, Grills

Talented Wout Bru is at the helm of this chic BBQ restaurant in the heart of Durbuy. The stylish outer walls reveal a dark, inviting interior whose centrepieces are an imposing bar and a dry-ageing fridge. Unsurprisingly, prime beef, such as wagyu and other premium breeds, is the establishment’s raison d’être. Superlatively barbecued, the meat is served with knockout sauces and large portions of side dishes that each diner chooses themselves. There are a few fish courses on the menu, but this is really a place for meat eaters. First-class craftsmanship and lashings of respect for the produce.

Located in Durbuy, Wagyu offers a stylish atmosphere blending Ardennes forest vibes with modern chic decor and a summer terrace. Service is generally praised for being friendly and attentive, though some guests noted issues with meal pacing and food temperature, such as steaks arriving lukewarm. Food quality receives mixed reviews; while many highlight exceptional meat and appetizers, others criticize side dishes like hard fries or poor sauce execution. The primary drawback is value for money. Despite the appealing ambiance and high-quality ingredients, numerous visitors find the pricing excessive, particularly regarding wine bottles, leading to disappointment that the cost does not justify the overall dining experience.

Suitable for diners seeking a unique forest-chic ambiance who are less price-sensitive; verify dish temperatures and portions beforehand.
