法国比利时酒店

Fanny and Jérôme bend over backwards to nurture the warm cosy vibe of their establishment, which also offers a few convenient guestrooms. Fanny’s indefectible good cheer and Jérôme’s infectious enthusiasm in his open kitchen set the stage for this culinary performance. The chef shines the spotlight on regional and local producers, with a weakness for veggies. He adds a modern twist to recipes that pay tribute to the region’s traditions and generous character. For example, he might pair slowly cooked lobster with cucumber perfumed in sesame seeds, a buttery sauce of subtle wasabi nuances and a

Welcome to Our, a picturesque Ardennes village nestling in peaceful countryside, that has become a beacon for savvy gourmets thanks to Maxime Collard. He has forged his own style back in his homeland, turning an old farmstead into a stylish, fashionable restaurant, whose many windows and mirrors seem to invite the countryside indoors. The establishment offers accommodation in the area to enhance the pleasure of a meal here. Chef Collard steers clear of showing off his extensive technical background, preferring to highlight the essence of a few premium ingredients, local whenever possible. Exam

Jean Vrijdaghs and Sébastien Hankard have added a youthful buzz to this illustrious restaurant, that had at least one Michelin star from 1963 to 2011. The restaurant and guestrooms have been restored to their former glory thanks to a contemporary makeover. Premium ingredients like Brittany lobster and local game are flanked by veg from the restaurant’s garden, with a flawless attention to detail and an abundance of veteran technique to shine the spotlight on the ingredient. The duo of chefs draws inspiration from purebred classical recipes, to which they add a contemporary twist. A hint of aci

A meal in this attractive eatery, amusingly adorned with a collection of hens, followed by a restful night in one of the guestrooms of the bustling country inn, are just the ticket to get better acquainted with the picturesque Semois valley. The chef is an unabashed fan of tradition and his region, as the menu demonstrates. How about Clamart pigeon in a gutsy gravy made from the bones? Or what about a fresh salad of lobster tail paired with velvety foie gras, grey shrimp and a herby dressing? Blatantly and indulgently generous to the delight of lovers of down to earth, rustic fare. You can’t g

The Maqua family’s charming hotel has been welcoming guests in the Ardennes since 1900. Today the fifth generation is at the helm of this inn that steadfastly upholds the region’s tradition of hospitality. The peaceful guestrooms overlook the rolling countryside, while in the restaurant, the accent is on hearty French favourites, albeit tailored to today’s tastebuds. The chef might jazz up scallops with an Asian slant but may also suggest terrine of foie gras or breast of pheasant, served medium rare and flanked by a creamy Pineau des Charentes and foie gras sauce. Its eater friendly prices ar

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. We also recommend the Bib Gourmand menu that is more polished, but equally Gallic in leaning. 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

The stunning Ardennes landscape is the star of the show in this swanky designer restaurant located in a modern wing of a tastefully restored castle (book a room for the night!). The floor-to-ceiling windows command a splendid view of the rural surroundings, while the patio enjoys a view of the Lesse. Definitely a premium location! Nature is also the name of the game for chef Bosmans, who immaculately crafts veggies grown in the garden in a high-flying culinary score. He might enhance the main ingredient with a spicy note, such as warm aromatic herbs from the garden and a vin jaune gravy to per
