I used to work in the La Louviere area and frequented La Plance quite a lot. I find it the best place in a wide circle (and I've tried quite a few)!
I've entertained business contacts during lunch but I also had quite a few more casual dinner nights with friendly colleagues. La Planche manages to cater to both!
The interior is quite simple but the service is prompt and correct. The menu has a wide variety of options, mainly classical French-Belgian cuisine. If you are a meat eater and hungry I would certainly recommend the Filet Pur Flambe & au Poivres Concasses. Nice dish but on the heavy side so I typically just go for a standard entrecôte.
I personally like their meat options, they grill it on an open fire and they do it well. They also offer quite a choice of sides, I typically go for choron sauce with croquettes.
There are obviously much much better places in Brussels or any other big city but in an area where there are decent dining options are scarce, this is definitely my fave. I will certainly return when in the area! read more
