Le Bistrot d'en Face describes itself as a Lyonnais bouchon in the historic heart of Liège: an intimate dining room, terroir cooking and quality produce. It is on the rue de la Goffe, right behind the quay where La Batte is set up every Sunday, and the Michelin Guide gives it a Bib Gourmand in 2026.
The menu
Starters from €12 to €22 (little pot of prawns, house-smoked salmon, bone marrow, grey shrimp croquettes) and mains from €19.50 to €30: the boulets à la liégeoise, the Liège meatballs with syrup sauce, served in a black casserole with home-made compote (€19.50); Bresse pullet vol-au-vent, steak tartare, oven-baked knuckle with béarnaise, andouillette, cassoulet or calf's head. At lunchtime there is a Bib Gourmand menu at €38.
When to go
Open at lunchtime, from 12:00 to 13:30, on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday, and in the evening from 19:00 to 21:30 from Wednesday to Sunday. Closed Monday and Tuesday. On Sunday, after La Batte, it fills up: book by phone.
