La Canette — Restaurant in Durbuy

The food at the restaurant is really good quality and the dishes are well thought out with the sauces and side dishes. The menu is "fixed" or you choose starter + main course or main course + dessert. Although this is the case, they offer options that include meat, fish, poultry and others. You need to make a reservation in advance, although there were empty tables in the restaurant they weren't accepting customers without a reservation. Although the food was good, the service could be improved. The waiters were a bit rude, doing everything quickly instead of welcoming and paying attention to the customers in a gentle way. The food also took around an hour after we ordered it, and as there are few options on the menu (only 4 or 5 main courses) I expected the preparation to be quicker. Finally, the bill is handed to you in pen on a piece of paper, which shows little care for aesthetics and customer service, not only by the waiters, but also in these details. The food is good, but there are areas for improvement because a good restaurant isn't just...

I would rate this place 6.5/10 if it was possible. Service - even though the staff doesn't speak English and the menus are in French (not tourist friendly), they were all very nice and patient and explained whatever we needed. I ordered the meatloaf (pate) for a starter. It was pretty good and went well with the ginger jam. For the main dish I ordered the butternut squash filled with groung meat (wasn't beef, maybe chicken or turkey). It was ok. Was packed with butter so it was hard to finish it. My friends ordered a steak which was a huge disappointment. First, it wasn't cooked evenly - some parts were completely raw while others were well done. Also, it wasn't a high quality piece of meat so most of it was rubbery and inedible. We told the staff we want to replace it so they kindly gave us a meat stew. The stew's flavor was good but the meat was dry like...

Wow. What amazing restaurant. I mean, the food. I had some roasted courgette and ham for starters. Brilliant, really did whet the appetite. I had the chicken for main. My oh my, the best chicken I've ever had I reckon. The sauce/broth...I start salivating just thinking about it. I thought I'd always hate baby onion, but somehow they'd seasoned them in such a way that I not just tolerated, but loved baby onions for the first time in my life! Lettuce was fresh and the dressing delicious. Fries were first rate.

Other stuff too. The staff were attentive and welcoming. And the aesthetics - I can't think of a more charming restaurant, off the top of my head.

They had loads of regulars coming in on a Monday night. That should tell you more than my individual...
