The first feeling is happiness; as soon as you step into the Bistrot Blaise in the heart of Marche-en-Famenne, you are greeted with smiles and welcomes. François-Xavier Simon and Hanna Matyja have the desire to create a real climate of benevolence, a clear conviviality that immediately wins over the guest; a sort of “we´ll take […]

Racines, faithful to its promise. At their age, we often stammer, our eyes screwed to the end of our shoes. Or, full of pride, one knows everything, the aplomb of youth. We can also rely on a talent and an expert competence that is already well established. This is the case at Racines. We discovered […]

In Flémalle, on the banks of the Meuse, on the Quai du Halage, there is a discreet house, with a clear facade, made of local stone. A wall does not often let you guess what it hides, I thought. Pushed and passed the wooden door, the theater is revealed in a harmonious refinement; there light […]

Because it is right and always good. Nowadays, the restaurant business in Brussels is more formatted than ever. We can no longer count the brands that come up with dripping burgers, improbable poke bowls and other ready-to-suck specialties, globalization does not spare the plates. Fortunately, there are still some islands of resistance. They are some […]

The address shines, it even shines. But discreetly, without making unnecessary waves. Inhabited as it is by the passion that bubbles within its walls. Here, the customer is king and we always go to the essential by pleasing ourselves to please others; this is the infallible framework of Lisa Calcus and Nicolas Campus at Gribaumonts. […]

Bravo to Pierre Massin. Hats off to him for daring. To dare to undertake, to dare to move the lines, by extirpating himself from the routine of a place where the trick was done for some time already. And to have the courage to go and see elsewhere if he is there. To be free. […]

Good times are never a coincidence. The address is certainly discreet, as it is nestled on the towpath on the banks of the Meuse, but it is oh so busy. This is how to sum up in two words the continuous success of the Terrasses de l’Ecluse for three years now. The success of a […]

It is always exciting to discover a restaurant. To apprehend its cuisine, to perceive its approach, to grasp its soul and finally to rejoice in both the good time spent and all those to come. A little more than four years ago, Julian Vanhaelter and Maelisse Rossetti moved into this beautiful house in the corner […]

A country air blows over the Branche d’Olivier, a village house in Ucluse located on the edge of the Kinsendael nature reserve. You have to pinch yourself to convince yourself that only a few streets away the noise and the fury of the city take over. The sign has survived the years without ever failing. […]

We have known several chefs, sometimes even starred, at the stove. We still regularly meet them at the table on Sundays, with our families. Not that we are aiming for the very highest gastronomy here, but simply because we do a beautiful brasserie cuisine coupled with a scaling bench worthy of the name. At the […]

When they closed the doors of the first version of their Délice du Jour, in Gerpinnes, in 2017, many gourmets and food lovers missed the friendly, gastronomic and human address that Fabrizzio Chirico and Sanae Chergui had raised so high in twenty years. They are therefore more than numerous, and with them many others, happy […]

The good news is that the pleasure of fine cuisine does not have to be confined to ego and pretension. It can also embrace true humility and craftsmanship, without in any way obscuring talent, consistency and, of course, taste. These words could fit Stéphane Lefebvre´s personality, a man of convictions and loyalty. Far from the […]

Secluded and discreet neighborhoods sometimes harbor gems, and you have to leave the crowded intersections of less likely signs and the unwelcoming expressways to meet these nuggets. The Tribeca in Gerpinnes is in this class. And not just in any way. Under the guise of a chic brasserie, words that take on their full meaning […]

In Mouscron, a building more than discreet, humble, nestled in a street with aligned houses, we get a change of scenery in ‘scenes of provincial life’ mode. But be careful! It is not a question here of a numb and paunchy province such as it is often caricatured by an intelligentsia of the cities, these […]
