The Ardennes
Founded in 2018, this flashy, glass-walled brewery-restaurant has a sizeable cafe-restaurant whose open terrace offers sweeping forest-framed views. Their beer range, brewed on site, includes a very refreshing blond and a blueberry-flavoured brew.
All are available in 150mL half-glasses so even drivers can sample them.
