This cosy restaurant has been a culinary landmark of Dinant since 1998. The secret of its success resides in the cheerful, heartfelt welcome of your hostess and the indulgent French culinary score of chef Éric Fieuw. Éric enjoys adding an Asian spin and unexpected notes to a classical lineup. For example, he might prepare fillets of seabass in a crumble with sweet mint in a daring but delicious association. This dish is further enhanced by rich, velvety mashed potato, leeks and a creamy fish sauce. Save room for pudding - the chef is a trained pastry cook! One last word of advice: the lunch me

Opposite Leffe Abbey, this nostalgic neighbourhood bolthole provides a showcase for the owner’s passion for flea markets.

Hunger obliterating food free of fussy frills and a treasure trove of French wines at prices that make sense.

Sarah Bohet and Michaël Vancraeynest are at the head of this authentic Ardennes stone farmhouse, where an open fire burns in the hearth come wintertime. To make the most of the experience, ask for a table in the farm’s historic section, although the more recent extension is brighter. The culinary score unveils a savvy blend of know-how and funky touches. Succulent red mullet might be paired with morel and vin jaune cream, while the chef consummately grills rib steaks on an open log fire, which are then served with a velvety béarnaise sauce. This exuberant lineup is further enhanced by Sarah’s

Behind the characteristic stone façade of the Wave Distillery, this bistro more than embodies its name (gourmand)! Matthieu Chalmagne adds a new spin to pedigree Gallic classics in a high-flying bistronomic vein and imbues a certain delicacy to his dishes, without losing sight of their hunger-satisfying goal. His personal take on a family favourite, veal stew, is a case in point: fluffy rice with carrots and celery, on top of which are placed two slices of Melba toast which are, in turn, smothered in melt-in-the-mouth, fork-tender veal stew, while a dollop of Madras curry-spiked creamy gravy a
