Au Clair Obscur — Restaurant in Verviers

The house itself is absolutely fabulous and looks out over Verviers. We arrived before our room was ready but the lady owner kindly offered to take our luggage in the meantime. She also gave us a handy guide book and directions for the chocolate museum (also a must see!) so that we could spend our afternoon in the town. When we returned later, our room was ready and was just beautiful - very clean with a nice large bathroom too. A nice touch was that we were offered a drink 'on the house' which we took on the outside terrace upstairs. Perfect for a late sunny afternoon.||||Dinner was an experience in itself and what I can only describe as affordable fine dining. We had a duck starter, with a carrot & fennel salad served with mandarin sauce, followed by fillet of warrior fish with a red vermouth & butter sauce and finally strawberries in a tomato consommé with basil & black pepper and a little bit of vanilla ice cream. I can honestly say I've never tasted food as tasty and rich as this was. Absolutely delicious plus the meal is cooked next to you in the open kitchen and then described to you by the chef upon serving. Just the most amazing experience and one I will not forget.||||The breakfast was another experience not to be forgotten - plenty of choice all served at your table - coffee, juice, yoghurt, eggs, pastries, fresh fruit and even chocolate tart. There's no way you can leave hungry!||||I cannot rate this place highly enough but it's definitely a restaurant with rooms rather than a hotel with a restaurant. My only suggestion to anyone visiting is that it will definitely add to your experience if you can at least speak some conversational french - but even if you can't, stay here anyway you...

We have stayed for 1 night at the Au Clair Obscur in the end of October, the house is beautiful and the trees in Autumn colors made the scenario even more romantic.||Unfortunately the restaurant does not open on Sundays so we could not try it, but the person who welcomed us in the B&B was very friendly and indicated many options of restos in the region (make sure to make a reservation before going to any restaurant in the region). ||The breakfast was amazing, with fresh breads, croissants, eggs with truffles and so on.. really worth trying.||The location is great, Spa is very near and there are many things such as walks, small villages, thermal baths, wellness, etc. I highly...
