• l'Impératif d'Éole★ Michelin While the impressive Chant d’Éole wine estate is particularly famous for its excellent sparkling wines, it offers much more than that. Namely a luxurious rooftop restaurant, where an ornamental gold-leafed tree and a glazed wine cellar immediately catch the eye. On your way into the restaurant, you will see the estate’s wines maturing in barrels. The wine list, which stars a few Belgian vintages, is perfectly paired with Benjamin Laborie’s cuisine. Laborie takes a fresh, new look at pedigree French recipes, founded on just a few ingredients that he savvily melds together. Flawlessly fresh fill25.8km
• Les Gourmands★ Michelin 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. You may taste Burgaud duck, respectfully and delicately cooked to medium rare, flanked by a spicy duck gravy that is divinely paired with orange marmalade or a big-boned duck shepherd’s pie oozing with buttery flavours. Les Gourmands excels in the art of adding a cont26.7km
• La Petite GayoleBib This characterful establishment in the picturesque village of Thuillies has become a beacon for all self-respecting fans of traditional nosh. A soundtrack of French ballads, an attractive wooden counter and vintage posters on the walls set the nostalgic scene indoors. The menu stars a patriotic lineup of Belgian staples including vol-au-vent of crunchy sweetbread and fresh fries, juicy kidneys and a dessert of French toast that is the ultimate comfort food. Wholehearted, much-loved family cooking oozing in bountiful generosity and fantastic flavours. We recommend the specials chalked up on the21.1km
• BagùBib Sophie in the dining room and Steven in the kitchen are at the helm of Bagù and are responsible for its enchanting home-from-home vibe. Bistronomic fare with a French accent sets the culinary scene, albeit with the odd Italian twang from time to time. A succulent crunchy fritter and unctuous vol-au-vent of pork might be jazzed up with a puntarella (type of chicory) salad, seasoned with anchovy vinegar. The chef has a knack for blending rich, refined flavours without falling into the trap of superfluous complexity. Create your own menu from the à la carte lineup – you won’t be disappointed!22.8km
• Le Camélia★ Michelin In this 19C château built in the brick and white stone that is typical in northern France, the spruce and welcoming decor charms with its blend of old and new: first, a cosy bar that leads on to a dining room flooded with light from the windows on two sides, and giving onto a wooded park. The à la carte menu features carefully selected ingredients and precise, flavourful cuisine, cooked to perfection. A whole lobster, shelled and roasted, is served pearly white in the middle: the tail firm and flavourful, the claws tender, with crunchy or melt-in-the-mouth vegetables, a fragrant sauce with her35.1km
• d'Eugénie à Emilie★★ Michelin Éric Fernez inherited his love of cooking from his grand-mother, Eugénie, and he has passed on this passion to his daughter, Émilie. Premium produce, generous classical fare and the added dimension that wine can bring to a dish are the bedrock of this family’s values. Éric, a past master of old school cooking, crafts nostalgic food that reads like a culinary encyclopaedia. You can expect to sample traditional produce, like pigeon, pig’s trotters and sole (à la Fernand Point, no less!), courtesy of almost-forgotten recipes. The sauces are in a class of their own, illustrated by a consommé of be40.1km
• La Fermette des PinsBib “What you see is what you get” could well be the baseline of this lovely farmstead depicted by old oak rafters, bare brick walls and a terrace that makes the most of its idyllic rural setting. The seasoned chef has perfected the art of sourcing first-class local produce. Her eggs are perfectly cooked at exactly 62°C and garnished with a flavoursome espuma of mashed potato and crunchy chicory, unless you wouldn’t prefer a much-loved Belgian staple: steak, fresh fries and a pepper sauce? One thing is certain: everything here bears the hallmark of tradition. All that remains is to choose between 25.1km
• La Marelle CaféBib Over 500 beers, an enticing menu and bargain prices: fans of old school cooking flock to this bustling bolthole in droves. Your first job on arriving will be to scan the establishment’s newspaper to get a proper feel for the place. Rather than fussy frills, you can expect hearty grub oozing in nostalgia: fritters stuffed in vol-au-vent; herring rollmops with house-made French fries; Belgium’s version of steak tartare and chips (with mayonnaise and horse meat)… or eels à la St Feuillien. La Marelle Café is a goldmine of vintage generous recipes.26.4km
• Ferme des 4 saisonsBib 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.26.7km
• Cul de PouleBib A colourful, cartoon-inspired chicken adorns this small bistro, but the real draw is Arnaud Molle. This seasoned chef lets his creativity run riot in regularly changing menus. You may sample grilled stuffed quail or pheasant à la brabançonne (with bacon and endive). His score is flavoursome, original and geared towards showcasing fresh produce as he harnesses his culinary talents to enhancing each ingredient’s purity! The meat, from his parent’s butchery, is first class and the prices are truly eater friendly!27.6km
