Bungalow Next to the Lac de Vallee de Rabais

Relaxed and friendly describe both the village of Toernich and the Régalade. The chef has restored his grandparents’ farmstead, tastefully mixing modern and authentic details, hence the brick walls. He specialises in painstakingly crafted cuisine packed in Gallic overtones that results in recipes in tune with their era. Respectfully executed and underscored by fascinating textures. An example: juicy seabass with a crispy skin paired with mashed potatoes, chunks of creamy squash and a gutsy veggie gravy. A restaurant that truly lives up to its name.

The picture postcard scene features a blue-shuttered gingerbread house poised between two rivers. The exquisite neo-rustic interior exudes a romantic vibe. Brice and Martin Thiry have added gusto and verve to this family business. They favour local produce and juggle with modern flavours such as acidity whilst respecting the ethos of traditional recipes. So, fancy sharing a rib of beef, carved in front of you, washed down with a glass of full-bodied wine? Good food and good vibes are the backbone of this endearing eatery.
