Restaurants in Wallonia

  1. A

    Brasserie Henry

    Sociable brasserie that's become an institution among Namur's late eaters. Expect well-priced Belgian cuisine (vegetarian offerings, too), efficient service and spacious surroundings. It's child friendly and highly recommended.

    Blaise Café/Nero Bianco

    This duo doing modern Italian cuisine occupies an elite corner of Namur. Delvaux and Pierre Marcolini are also present, making it the spot to dine and shop. The ground-floor Blaise Café has a semiprivate courtyard, or you can take to the soft seats inside, watched by military mannequins. Upstairs, Nero Bianco's modern décor is accentuated by lamps that hang over the tables like great praying mantis.

    Mamé Vi Cou

    'Mamé Vi Cou' is Walloon-speak for 'an older woman of ample proportions'. But try not to binge here, though you may want to after tasting such local specialities as Rognon de Veau au Pékèt (veal in a jenever-based sauce). It's carnivorous food served in cavernous surroundings and it's all very very good.

    Le Chapitre

    Convivial and very cosy restaurant huddled in a corner beneath the tower of Cathédrale St Aubain. Specialises in regional cuisine, Breton crepes, and Belgian beers, all at very affordable prices. A blackboard lists the available brews (usually around 30), and the décor's charmingly rustic.

  5. La Bruxelloise

    Don't come for the '70s décor - it's the plump and succulent mussels, claimed by some to be Wallonia's best, that attract diners from far and wide. Belgian specialities are the staple - filet américain (a blob of minced beef served raw) is also on the menu.

    Enoteca

    The decor is plush - dark and heavy with black marble tables, cushioned brown chairs and wood-panelled walls - but the Italian food is light. You can view it being created in the open, white-tiled kitchen. The food is so good that reservations are recommended.

    Au Point de Vue

    This restaurant occupies a house dating from 1652, and it's busy but informal. A must are the seasonal mussels, shrimps in a cognac sauce and the house speciality, lapin à la Liègeoise (rabbit done the local way).

    As Ouhès

    Specialises in rich Walloon cuisine with ultragenerous portions, attentive service and reasonable prices. Note the restaurant's apt logo - a gluttonous man sitting on a mound of hams, waffles and sausages.

    Le Grain de Sel

    Cheery eatery set up in three connecting rooms. The house speciality is tartines Corses, sandwiches of sorts with a base of mozzarella cheese and tapenade. A good respite for vegetarians.

  10. La Petite Fugue

    Oozes understated chic. Just two small rooms (and a terrace in summer), personal service and modern interpretations of classic French cuisine have made it a winner among locals.

    Histoire de Goût

    Cute little French restaurant/tearoom where the house speciality is homemade fois gras. Make sure you order the coconut-tinged crème brûlée for dessert.

    Self-service cafeteria that's good if euros are short or the kids are starving.
