Café Lequet
An old riverside café on the Meuse, also known as Chez Stockis, famous for meatballs and fries and liveliest on Sunday market days.
A local food guide from the University of Liège describes it as one of the city’s oldest cafés. It is also called Chez Stockis and is located at 17 Quai sur Meuse on the Meuse riverbank, close to the Sunday La Batte market. It won the meatball award in 2003 and 2004. The signature is meatballs with hand-cut fried potatoes in butter, with a sauce containing Liège syrup. The décor is simple. Sundays are noisy, and you often wait at the bar for a seat. Service reviews are mixed, with some diners complaining about the loud music and payment rules. Hours differ between sources, so please call before visiting.
