Liège gourmet: our selection of good addresses

Just for the location alone, you can't resist it. Once past the large  entrance, you enter a courtyard where a few tables are already set up in the shade of the beautiful façade of a mansion. The black and white rattan armchairs are elegant and invite you to enjoy a peaceful gourmet break. In winter, meals are served in the dining rooms with their high moulded ceilings and old fireplaces decorated with plants. On the menu, you will find dishes to share with others with a southern flavour and creative dishes to enjoy on your own, such as market fish with a herb coulis, veal escalope with capers and lemon or tandoori chicken salad. Whichever you choose, you'll have a great time.

L'Enoteca has been a safe bet for 30 years in Liege. Faithful to a Mediterranean cuisine that is more Italian than Provençal, the restaurant has extended its menus, which vary during the week with a 2, 3 or 4-course menu at 30 to 37 euros, and at the weekend with a 5-course menu at 46 euros. The dishes are beautiful and bring back memories of holidays with seasonal and quality products.

Another address that sings of the south, La Cuccinella has been working with Italian products from father to son for decades, just like at Casa Marzano. Even if the family recipes have been modernised over the generations, the flavours remain authentic and the passion for the job is as strong as ever.

Tucked away in a hidden cul-de-sac, the restaurant has always been known to the people of Liège for its concept of a themed décor that changes every two years. The theme of the year 2021, "The forgotten laboratory of the moon dreamers", invites you into "the astral and mysterious universe of a researcher who is passionate about the Moon and its theories, a real time shift to live a real experience". A 3 or 4 course menu is served in a cosy and romantic atmosphere.

The osteria was once a place for meeting and sharing in Italy. The spirit of the osteria is very much present in this small, long restaurant where the kitchen is open to the guests. You are welcomed with a delicious prosciutto. The pasta is organic, the recipes are authentic like the pasta with parmesan cream or al ragu but sometimes more sophisticated too, depending on the mood of the day.

In Liege, Claire and Salvi no longer need to be introduced. For years they have been orchestrating the best addresses offering tasty and authentic Italian cuisine. Fresh products are carefully highlighted in refined recipes.

We also recommend Ma ferme en ville, which is only open during the day. More of an urban canteen than a restaurant, it is first and foremost a convivial place for people who want to eat organic, local and above all seasonal produce. The concept is based on the "short circuit", and it is in the middle of the shelves displaying the products of "small local producers" that the white wooden tables are set up. You can almost hear the chickens cackling....

The Brasserie Toussaint is the place to stop on Friday mornings after the brocante in Saint Pholien. It's one of Liège's oldest brasseries, dating back to the early 20th century. Recently renovated, its decoration is typical of the Art Nouveau style, with intertwined plant elements and feminine figures with abundant hair. Other architectural elements are reminiscent of the old Parisian brasseries, such as the double entrance door, banquettes, dark wood furniture, subdued lighting, counter and mirrors. The terrace, shaded by tall trees, is a delight in summer.

Located opposite the Simenon youth hostel, La Cène is a must-visit restaurant in the heart of the Saint Pholien district. This beautiful 1911 white-brick house has a hidden feature for those who don't look up: its gable is decorated with a beautiful ceramic panel depicting a trumpeter trumpeting under the sun and the flight of birds. It could be a musketeer, or perhaps even D'Artagnan, who died in Maastricht in 1673. Above the fresco is an inscription carved in stone: 'L'an 1911 au Belvedere'.  The house has been restored, retaining the original window frames on the first floor. The restaurant's menu is varied. You'll find typical Liège dishes, as well as French and even Italian fare. The atmosphere is typically Liège.
