Gezellige zaak in Lafôret. Heerlijk om in het weekend met vrienden wat te drinken en bij te kletsen. Binnen is het knus met een haardvuurtje.

Most cozy place to relax in an authentic Ardennes atmosphere. The owner Jean is absolutely the perfect host. His wife makes the best soup! Perfect for a refreshing trappist beer after walking the 'Promenade des Legendes' which starts and ends 150 meters away

This little tavern is the perfect place for a rest after a long day of hiking in the ardennes. You get a large and delicious variety of different beers, trappist-beer and other beverages. Jean is very kind and helpfull when it comes to choosing the right drink with you. Small plates and dishes are served as well as a good choice of vines. I would recommend this place to everyone who ever has the chance to visit Laforêt.

Een kleine zaak in het centrum van Lafôret. Het ligt een beetje verscholen tussen de huizen. We hebben er enkel iets gedronken na een wandeling maar er worden ook kleine gerechten geserveerd. Orval wordt geserveerd in kleine glaasjes. Dit was de eerste keer dat ik soort glas zag. Ook al drink je niets of als de zaak gesloten is blijft het de moeite om eens langs te gaan. De tafeltjes zijn gemaakt van oude naaimachines.

A beautiful place to take a quick pitstop and refill your tank when hicking. You are out of the wind and the owner always has a smile on his face. I really recomend it.

Leuke plek maar het stukje appeltaart was wel een beetje duur.. 6,50?
