Restaurants, wine bars, discover the finest places to feel like you are in Spain without even crossing the border!
Restaurants
Tapas are those little bites that, most of the time, we love to share with friends or family. A true concept built on conviviality, tapas restaurants have sprung up all over Belgium and are a roaring success. The city of Namur has not escaped the phenomenon either… Four delicious addresses have opened their doors there, to the great delight of the people of Namur, but also of the tourists who come to lose themselves in the capital of the Walloon Region.
Manolo Madrid
Tucked away in the very heart of the Rue des Brasseurs, this address is a must for every tapas lover! If you do a little research online, you will come across nothing but praise. The owner of the place, Manolo, serves tasty, authentic cuisine made with quality produce. Take a seat facing the open kitchen (we love it!) and enjoy the chef’s show. For the length of a meal, you will feel as though you are in Spain in one of those typical tapas bars.
Address: Rue des Brasseurs 50, 5000 Namur
Emoción Namur
Somewhere between the Iberian Peninsula and the Italian boot, this restaurant’s menu offers a multitude of flavours to discover and savour. The choice can be agonising, but that is precisely the joy of tapas: you order them by the dozen and share them, all in a unique and cosy setting.
Address: Rue de la Croix 48, 5000 Namur
La Cantina
This restaurant and tapas bar is the ideal spot for a convivial evening with friends or family. You will fall under the spell of all those colourful plates, filled with tapas each as delicious as the last. Chorizo tortilla, patatas bravas, little grilled cuttlefish, pan con lomo or green olives, here you will taste the “real” Spanish tapas.
Address: Rue de la Halle 2, 5000 Namur
Tapas soif
This wine bar and tapas restaurant (we love the play on words!) offers a wide assortment of tapas with diverse geographical influences. And to go with these little bites, nothing beats a glass of… Greek wine! That’s right, the restaurant has opted for originality by serving only Greek wines, recognised as great European vintages. A lovely discovery to be made, then! Bruschetta, courgette fritters, mushroom risotto, tzatziki, sardines and prosciutto will delight your taste buds in this charming establishment.
Address: Rue des Brasseurs 26, 5000 Namur
