Le Confessionnal — Restaurant in Dinant

One of the most delicious meals we've ever had. The waitress was so lovely and the perfect host. I would highly recommend getting there as soon as they open because they get busy. Sit outside, have an aperitif and just ask and you may be lucky to get squeezed in like we did! So, so lucky.

My husband can speak a little French so we got by and there was an English speaking couple next to us. If you try to speak French it would be appreciated. A lot of native English speaking customers have this complex about restaurants not accommodating them or consider it's rude, it's not. Please don't expect that every place will speak English. You need to respect this whilst traveling and learn the language, even if it's just basic. You will be rewarded with a truly amazing dining experience!

We had two courses. Highly recommend the confit lamb shoulder. Simply, out of this...

One of the best meals we have ever experienced. The menu is amazing. The dishes well prepared with fresh ingredients . It is so nice to enjoy a meal without a waiter pushing you between courses.

I find it amazing that some reviewers criticized the place for being all in french without any thought to how many places in the US would serve them solely in English. Besides I found the server very friendly and helpful. The...

So I visited Le Confessionnal on a day trip to Dinant and let me say this, this restaurant was worth the walk from the town centre of Dinant. The service here was exceptional, they sat us outside for drinks before food and let us order from a menu (I wish I could speak French) and gave us a lot of time to Google translate the menu to English. Once our food was ready... well this is one of the best restaurant experiences of my life. The food was marvelous, good portioned, fresh and I felt was made with care from the chef. Also for what it was, the food wasn't expensive for what it was, in London one could spend this much and get half the quality and service.

I felt very much like I was invited to a dinner they were hosting and would love...
