Au Vieux Cerexhe

The Ardennes


One of the best in a strip of appealing brasserie-restaurants set just back from the Vesdre River's north bank, this atmospheric place covers the typical Belgian culinary bases along with standard steaks and various salads.

No, you can't have just a starter, explains a down-beat Albert Einstein on the menu board, but you can boost one to main-course size for twice the price minus three euros. Ask about the wine-tasting cave for private groups.
