Really nice place along the water in Namur. Lots of options for starters and main entrees…read more Excellent selection of drinks and the dessert menu is choice. The staff was really excellent, but be warned they don't have an English menu and most of the staff did not speak English. They really did great though with everyone trying their best to communicate. We had a large diverse group and everyone really enjoyed all the dishes. I only took pics of the truffle pasta dish and the dessert, but I promise it was all good.

Great location, beautiful restaurant with modern decor, nice service and good food. Unfortunately,…read morethey do not serve moules.

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.

I have lived in Europe for years and have come to accept poor service at restaurants…read more This one took the cake. I sat there for more than 20 mins and was not approached one time for service. 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.

Great place to go and enjoy a variety of beer, as well as food. Good service and atmosphere…read more Definitely recommended.

We came in at noon on a Saturday and the place was empty. We ordered a bunch of food and a round of…read moredrinks. Everything was great! A little pricey, but we thought worth it. Inside has a bunch of industrial decor, and seemed really cool. I highly recommend this place! They spoke English and took credit cards. It's in a neat area surrounding it too. I'd like to come back and visit in the summer.

Lovely outdoor (car-free) street seating, great pub/"cafe" food with local dishes well executed…read more Comfortable, locally rooted interior - which seemed a little exceptional in this district of the city. The vibe was locals like eating and socializing - so best be prepared to practice your French, though our waiter was seemingly omni-lingual. I enjoyed bouletes (meatballs) in a beer/pear reduction. Sauces to accompany meatballs in Belgium vary regionally; the pears just supply a light sweetness to a savory brown sauce - delicious and not pear-forward at all. The meatballs were juicy and pretty tender. Solid frites and a little homage to a salad rounded out the meal. Beer selection is ample/normal for a Belgian cafe. It's not a destination just for beer variety but there are good libations to pair with any dish.
