Estaminet Ch'tite Brigitte
Estaminet La Ch'tite Brigitte
A popular estaminet opened in 2022, featuring retro decor, a menu written in the northern dialect, and generous portions of northern home cooking.
Opened in August 2022 at 10 Rue des Bouchers, this cozy spot has about 40 seats and an open kitchen, decorated with vintage advertisements, family photos, and copper pots. The menu features potjevleesch, carbonnade flamande, waterzoï, welsh, Maroilles tart, and Cambrai sausage. Gault&Millau 2026 rated it 11/20, noting that it leans more touristy than traditional old taverns, but remains highly popular, though some locals recently felt the decor lacks authenticity. Main courses are around €18-20. Reviews mention that booking in advance is necessary, which can be done on the official website. It is about a ten-minute walk to Rihour metro station.
Opening hours
Tue-Sat 12:00-14:00, 19:00-23:30 (according to Gault&Millau 2026; other sources suggest it may be open daily, please check the official website)
