In a quiet suburb a 10-minute walk south from the center, this graceful mansion houses a lovely restaurant with a loyal clientele, all in a fabulous setting of polished wood and antiques. The food is classic French-Belgian, with scallops, lobster, and fillet steak all regulars on the monthly changing menu, alongside locally hunted venison in season.
No-frills decor works as the perfect blank canvas to highlight the vivid colors and creativity that star on every plate served in this modern French-Belgian bistro. The menu is kept simple, with only a handful of choices for each course, but the offer changes regularly to follow the seasons.
Jean-François Douffet’s fresh approach in the kitchen contrasts pleasantly with the old-fashioned gentility of many of his local competitors. Sautéed goose liver accompanied by a potato pancake, pike perch with deep-fried basil leaves, roast pigeon with a balsamic vinegar sauce, and ice cream with figs are typical of his creations.
