Mons Restaurants

One of the many bars in the square of Mons, but with the best food, in my opinion.

Please say hello to the barman, David, from Craig and Laura. He speaks excellent English, but with a Leeds accent!! Take the mick out of him for it!!!

Favorite Dish: The Chef, Gert, makes the greatest Homemade Lasgane I have ever tasted. I have travelled many miles to it the Lasgane at La Royale, it is truely wonderful.

The rest of the menu is very good too, but my top recommendation is the Lasgane.

This restaurant is simply the best one I went to in Mons !
I went there with my family for the birthday of my mother and it is was a first class surprise for her!

there, everything is art :

-the perfect service
-the finest gastronomy
-the nicest table decoration
-the most extraordonary design of the food!
-the originality of the plates

A great experience!!!!!!

Favorite Dish: Everything was a delight :

the first free appetizer

the main plates :
-cote de porc "a l'berdouille"
-joue de boeuf marinee

the dessert :
-la tartelette a la rhubarbe
-le chocolat dans tous ses etats
-les beignets au chocolat

Where to go when guys wanted to impress their belles, or simply when one wants to enjoy some quality "pastry time".

Well, what can I say ? It's on the Grand-Place. Interior is nice with glass everywhere. It's a lovely place for winter days: grenat furniture gives it some warmth.

Favorite Dish: I could only taste their pastry and chocolate: yummy, with hot chocolate or tea. I remember the mille-feuilles was to die for.

Besides, I know Saey delivers sandwiches and other snacks for business cleintýle (for your meetings...). The sandwiches were delicious too !

Food is great, not a big restaurant, rather a poshy snack with simple but savourous French-style dishes: chicken turnover, fish gratin... tapas, salads.

Same as for Baroc boutiques (accessories, home furniture), I like the charming setting with bright colours. I appreciate paintings hanging on walls a well.

A simple setting, one of still genuine Chinese cuisines one would have in Mons, imho. Well, simply put, it's not the cheapie and popular type of Chinese restaurant.

The entry hall is a nice one with a small pond (!) with koi fishes, if I recall it well. There is a small bridge you will walk in.

Once in, the setting is rather classic, not the kitsch touch you would find in many Chinese restaurants. Above all: the food is delicious !

Service is great and personnel, very caring also. At a time, my friend and I thought we were kids. She had a Hong Kong style lacquered duck. It went with some rice cr?pes. One has to roll the duck meat, the sauce and green onions in cr?pes. The waitress spent a lot of time rolling my friend's duck meat in the cr?pes. But then, we said "it's OK, we can do it". She left us. Still, once in a while, she asked us whether it was fine or not, whether we enjoyed or not. Nice !

I went there twice and twice I was really satisfied. Go there. It's not expensive, though a bit of upscale compared to Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants in the area.

Favorite Dish: Lacquered duck.

I rated it compared to Chinese restaurants in the area.

From outside, the restaurant is charming. You can see through the windows nice tables with candles and oriental lamps. Entering the restaurant is quite impressive as with a shadowy light and oriental curtains and veils, it keeps all its mystery. But once, you have your seat, the whole conveys a feeling of intimacy, warmth. You'd hear Indian music that softly accompanies conversations.

You do not have to wait for a long time to be taken care of. While waiting for meal to come, they serve Indian snacks with chutneys (quite common wth Indian restaurants). Dishes arrive: good food and correct quantity. And you start eating in a half-light made of candle and lamps... Hmmm... To die for.

Favorite Dish: Chicken korma... Sauce is generous, thick, and not too heavy.. Sweet!

Their curry dishes are yummy as well.

I also appreciated this rice cooked with spices (cardamon), great smell and savourous taste.

So far, it is the best Indian cuisine I've ever tried in Belgium. I appreciated it so did an Indian-Pakistanese friend who made it there.

Elegant restaurant, cosy. Discreet personnel, however effective and caring. Though Italians make the bulk of Mons population, it is difficult to find North italian food. It seems that pizzeria and Sicilian restaurants are typical of Mons gastronomy. You seem to be lucky if you could find a North Italian food restaurant.

I appreciated in this restaurant the freshness of food, the respect of ingredients taste. Menu of the days (suggestion du chef) is announced on a slate board.

It was a great experience, esp. since I was just invited.

In a corner, on the wall: pictures of stars that ate there. Among them, bellissima Ornella Mutti

Closed on wednesdays and saturday noon
Garden and terrace available.

Favorite Dish: Ate there once but loved the carpaccio, the fish dish and sabayone

This cafe is situated on the "Grand Place" and is one of the most famous of Mons. It is an old style café with a very nice wooden fassade outside and also wooden furnitures inside. There is a special atmosphere and as inhabitant of Mons, you can meet there a lot of persons you know. It's the cafe where I go with members of my family :-)
