Facing the waterfront, this buzzing new artisanal microbrewery makes its own perfectly balanced brews, and also serves up quality seasonal beers from Belgium and beyond. On warm days, the outdoor tables make the perfect setting for a drink.
Much loved by the community, Le Bierodrome offers beer-making classes, and also hosts occasional events (art exhibitions, beer-tasting workshops and the like).
