Les Gourmands is run by foodies for foodies. The charming authentic interior is ideally suited to the classical fare of Didier Bernard, assisted by Lydia Glacé, who is in charge of the decadent desserts. The gifted duo, who were awarded their first Michelin star in 1996, are committed body and soul to celebrating premium produce.

While the impressive Chant d’Éole wine estate is particularly famous for its excellent sparkling wines, it offers much more than that.

Sprawling meadows encircle this old riverside stone farmstead, so it isn’t surprising that the country vibe has wound its tendrils into the interior. This friendly eatery takes pride in sourcing local Walloon produce that is crafted into a lineup of pedigree seasonal Gallic fare, like saddle of lamb, cooked rare in a herby crust, garnished with a subtle rosemary gravy and potato salad. The splendid wine list boasts over 400 references and is definitely worth a gander. A meal at the Grand Pré makes the perfect ending to a tour of this beautiful rural region. Country life at its best!

Stéphane Grulois, a man of many talents, played a major part in designing the stylish, cosy interior of this arty restaurant. Stéphane is, however, first and foremost a gifted chef. His love of traditional French cuisine shines through in flawless craftsmanship and know-how. He might cook veal medium rare in a parsley and mustard crust, which is paired with a subtle, delicate gravy, fluffy dauphine potato puffs and celery purée. The chef enjoys serving the food himself. Excellent value for money at lunchtime. A multisensory experience awaits!
