Description

A narrow lane near the main square of Mons leads to the endearing restaurant of Céline, the charming and ever cheerful lady of the house. The sunny rear patio features an olive tree in its centre. Chef Watteyne crafts a menu dictated by market availability, the seasons and his innovative ideas. Examples include his personal take on vitello tonnato or a fascinating tomato-strawberry-burrata dessert. Bold, distinctive cuisine crafted by a chef who takes pride in ensuring that each flavour is spot on and punchy.
