A very interesting restaurant in the center of Bastogne, near the border of Luxembourg…read more This is where the important WWII 'Battle of the Bulge' occurred. The restaurant is in two parts, one a long series of train rail cars. We ate in the other, a building directly across the street. We came at an off hour, 3pm, so the rail cars were closed until dinner but the other served, only a limited menu of Spaghetti Bolanese and Croquet Monsiuer. Deciding the Spaghetti would suffice We had a delightful dinner. The portion was enormous, one plate could easily feed two hungry people... and it was well prepared and delicious. It seems like a well run establishment and the service was very good too.

I visited for dinner last week and was promptly seated upstairs. After looking at the menu, I ordered the Frittura Mista special for 26€. Shortly after ordering, a complimentary bread basket was brought to the table with my entree arriving about 15 minutes later. The plate had salad and country potatoes (steak fries) on it along with squid, salmon, cod and scampi all fried and with a small cup of rouille sauce for dipping. This was a good tasting meal of fried seafood and the fries and salad were good too however it did not stand out enough to me to rate it any higher than a 3 score. If I returned I would like to try something else on the menu.

Whimsical, but then again one would expect that from a brewery that features a little hop-seeking…read moregnome on its labels. A lot of Belgian breweries are surprisingly tiny operations, but that can't be said about the Chouffe. In 2006, the brewery was purchased by the much larger Duvel Moortgat, and it shows. This brewery and its surrounding area is really quite the enterprise by rural Belgian standards - there's the brewery itself, a tap room, another tap room that serves food, an adjacent full-service restaurant with a stocked trout pond behind it, and a gift shop. This all seems a bit "commercial" and United States/Disney-esque, especially after you've been traipsing around Belgium and rural France visiting decidedly non-commercial breweries that half the time were closed, much less have a freakin' gift shop. There's even a pond with a little island with a gnome-hut on it. It would have to try pretty hard to be more cutesy. Still, there's something to be said for this kind of corporatist professionalism, even if it does somewhat resemble visiting the Epcot Center, if it had a "Belgium" pavilion. You don't have to worry about it being open, which was a constant problem in visiting other breweries throughout the region. There will always be a wide, complete range of its beers available, both for on-site consumption and to take home. And of course, plenty of merch and swag featuring that lovable gnome! A Chouffe tulip glass is a must - and there's even Chouffe coffee and cream liqueurs available, of which we purchased a couple small samplers. Of course, there's also the beer. Even after the Chouffe's purchase by a larger brewery, the flagship La Chouffe strong blonde ale hasn't suffered all that much - it's still one of the better examples of the popular "Belgian Strong Pale Ale" style. I think it's got more going on than either Duvel and Delirium....more fruity, spicy, yeasty, while at the same time being a little cleaner than a La Fin Du Monde. I'd still rank it as my favorite easily-accessible example of the style.

There were multiple tables that came in after me and folks were served directly. I am 6'11" or 210 cm tall. Clearly the biggest person in the restaurant, so there is no reason I could not have been seen. Huge let down after traveling from Hawaii to my favorite brewery.

Awesome value for price over here! We were a group of 9 people who did a weekend close to durbuy…read more We went over here on Sunday evening. The atmosphere in the bar/bistro is modern and relaxed. Plenty of space, one part is a bit busier and best suited for drinks, the other one is calmer and more ideal for eating. Both are open and connected, which gives a very spatial feeling. The restaurant has a big menu, featuring home made burgers, some pastas, and Belgian classics. Very good value for price. I had the double BBQ burger and it was good. Burger was well baked, and had enough flavor in it. It came with extra ketchup, fries and a side salad. My wife had boulets liegeoise, meaning meatballs in sweet sauce. Very big balls, one was plenty. Also here, fries and side salad. If you are only visiting Belgium, ask for a old orval of 6 months old!

The choices in food were overall good as was the quality of the food. However we had a simple special request, no cheese due to an allergy, our waiter made a mistake and did not put in our order correctly and initially refused to correct it. Eventually he came around but it was annoying. The other annoyance was because we were in the patio where smoking was allowed and the table next to us smoked non stop. Would be great if the restaurant had a non smoking outdoor session because the incessant smoking for the table next to us while we were eating was disgusting.

And this was only after the lady at the table beside me asked if I was ready to order while the waitress was there for the second time for their table. From the moment I walked you could tell the waitress had a problem with a single person taking a table, her demeanor oozed of it. She sat me down, never smiled, asked one time what I wanted, I ordered a beer, and the next time she talked to me was when the lady next to me almost made her. I'm all for the European dining experience but this was rude! Even when I tried to pay with a nonchip card the only word out of her mouth was "No". The worst of Belgium !
