2 Best Bars in Tournai, Western Wallonia

This elegant "brown café" dates from the early 20th century but has weathered well. The mirror-and-wood paneling, leather banquettes, and tiled floors speak to a bar that knows its place in the world, and you can spot the regulars a mile off. There's a good selection of local beers and decent food. 

This bar-restaurant does a fine line in rather eclectic tapas, but it's also just a great spot to hang out thanks to its charming terrace, which nestles under a pair of trees overlooking the river. Have a drink and watch the barges drift on by.
