Au Gré du Vent
A meal at Au Gré du Vent offers a splendid opportunity to explore the magnificent Hainaut countryside. Stéphanie and Sébastien Thunus converted a former barn into a fantastic restaurant, whose floor-to-ceiling windows open onto a landscaped garden. The visitor is initially impressed by the venue’s elegance, before sinking into its all-embracing cosy cocoon. Chef Stéphanie Thunus is a perfectionist who aims to make each dish a work of art with a distinct fondness for local, seasonal produce, such as game from Ardennes. Her culinary creations are subtle, distinctive and generous and nothing leav

Located in Binche, Au Gré du Vent focuses on farm-to-table dining and generally receives high ratings. Reviewers frequently praise the elegant atmosphere, attentive service, and innovative cuisine, particularly noting the quality of multi-course menus and beverage pairings. However, some guests reported issues with meal pacing, unresponsive staff, or sommeliers who lectured rather than engaged. A minority found dishes overly complex, masking ingredient origins, or poorly seasoned. Dissatisfaction was also expressed regarding non-alcoholic options. While the setting is refined, experiences vary, making advance reservation advisable.
