L’Écurie d’Ennetières

Wallonia


Affordable Belgo-French cuisine is served in this high-ceilinged room with exposed-brick walls and a tribe of marionettes hanging from hefty wooden beams. The menu choices are fairly straightforward – entrecôte (a thick premium steak), roasted duck, and cod with beurre blanc – but the classic bistro ambience, with gingham tablecloths and pitchers of wine, makes it a local favourite.
