"Delicious food in a classy restaurant. I couldn't fault it. Not cheap, but, oh so good. The service was excellent and the choice of wines and dishes to die for. I loved my oysters followed by saddle of hare (last night in Belgium, so I pushed the boat out). So glad I went there. Would love to eat there again! Extra points for having good wines available in half bottles and nice tables available for lone eaters like myself."

"Had a great dinner here! The staff didn’t speak much English, but they were really polite and kind. Hot water refill is supposed to be chargeable, but they gave us a pot for free — such a nice gesture. Really appreciated it. Not gonna say too much… a picture says it all when it comes to food!"

"I love Brasserie Francois! My fav when I come to Belgium. The best brasserie in Belgium. Everything is delicious and the new chef Maxime is great. Amazing service and atmosphere. Can’t go wrong with going to Brasserie Francois for true Belgian food. Recommend to sit outside if the weather is good."

Best brasserie of Namur, chic atmosphere "à la française" to pronounce with the accent of Namur (not quite the same ;-) It's a safe bet to taste classical brasserie dishes served by waiters dressed in smart costumes. The high ceilings, decorative moldings and chandeliers will make you forget where you are the time of a meal. The place is also a good location for a drink in the evening.
