Le Temps des Cerises

Namur


The food is authentic Walloon and French, while the cosy restaurant lays on the charm in thick brush strokes with gingham tablecloths and scarlet-framed mirrors. The wall graffiti comes courtesy of star-thespian customers, including Charlotte Rampling and Benoît Poelvoorde.

Start off with a satisfying fish soup before moving on to heartier plates of steak with béarnaise sauce or cassoulet (a white bean stew with, pork and duck).
