Le Panorama

Namur


High in the citadel, this airy pavilion has eagle's-perch views across the Meuse and the woodlands that extend attractively into the distance. Vistas from the spacious terrace are even better. It does a varied menu ranging from snacks to brasserie-style dishes (mains €17 to €22).
