The food was presented beautifully and the ingredients were fresh. The Italian cuisine was exceptionally curated by the Chef, though the interior of the restaurant needs some renovation. Overall, a good place to dine and enjoy the great food.

Wonderful Experience

We ended our own little Tour de France (albeit in a rented FIAT) in the Belgian Ardennes region and stayed at the Hostellerie Gillain for 3 nights.  This is a destination restaurant of very high quality (Michelin starred) which also has 6 exceptional rooms, making it also a very small hotel.  It is out in the country a bit, surrounded by fields and lowing cattle, about 10km from the riverside town of Dinant.  This is not far from Namur or the primary sites of the Bulge battles (St. Vith, Houffalize, etc.).  But being somewhat hidden away, mapping it by GPS is a good idea.  It serves lunch and dinner as a restaurant (and breakfast to their overnight guests which, as one might expect from such a restaurant, nicely lavish).  We stayed here as a central point to explore into the Belgian Ardennes and to dine very well at dinner without having to worry about driving afterwards.  Parking is either in a parking lot off the road or in front of the building.  The room (upstairs; there are also 3 on the ground floor) was spacious with a small and quite private balcony and table and chairs, surrounded by grape vines, looking out on a large field of brown cattle.  The large king size bed was excellent, the bathrooms large and complete, towels thick.  Dinners are impeccable, from the service and the room to the food and wines on offer.  For having a Michelin star, the prices to enjoy such gastronomy are quite reasonable, possibly as it is well off the beaten path.  The food is locally sourced as much as possible, the chef cures his own ham down by the wine cellar, the wines in flights that can be chosen to accompany a menu are interesting and uncommon and on point.  The hotel is a very restful place from which to enjoy the beauties of the Belgian countryside.  Their website is accurate and very descriptive if you are curious.  Truly, little has been spared to make this both a delightful stay and a memorable dining experience.  Very highly recommended.

Superb dining, wonderful nights

the small hotel is in a rural area. the rooms are spacious and comfortable. it is a pleasure to stay there. of course the restaurant is the main attraction, but we liked the room, too. we chose this hotel for two reasons; the restaurant and the location, because we wanted to visit the museum and the area of Bastone where the Americans stopped the Germans in W.W.2

restaurant which is very good and friendly

Just for the restaurant ///

By a sunny day, we took our sport car and drove from Brussels to Dinant

While escaping the tourist atmosphere we decided to have our lunch at the "Gilain " restaurant

Excellent decision as we were warmly welcomed ( without reservation), it was also warm outside ... and guided to the "terrace".

As one of the guest was smoking we asked for another table and enjoyed a new table with nice views and some shadow

The "maître d'hôtel" was just perfect

We di chose for  the menu "degustation" combining fish and poultry ; very nice indeed while the dessert was the "surprise" and magnificent

The wine list is just overwhelming, we had an Italian Puglia red which was just superb and at the right temperature

The experience was worth the trip and not that far from Brussels

We will be back in the winter and are thrilled to discover the Winter suggestions

Well done to Gilain and his lady trying very hard and succeeding also

Great Feeling

Lot's of attention

We stopped by while driving form Luxembourg to Brussels on a Sunday. Close to the highway and still in s very nice Wallonian country side setting. Ambitious menues and great a la carte options, we went straight for the lobster followed by desert. 5 star cooking, flawlessly executed. Great table outside and very friendly service. Worth the visit.

Excellent Sunday lunch 

Hostilliere Gilain is situated out in the country side of the Ardennes and offers only 6 double rooms. Very nice rooms with an astonishing view. However, the restaurant is formidable and worth a specific trip just to experience the different dishes. It is really natural tastes and aromas that comes from the food. The service is magnifique. On top of that, the breakfast was incredible.

A fantastic treat

We stayed here on an overnight package with a gastronomic dinner included. The rooms are nothing special just nice country guesthouse rooms. Spacious and comfy. The restaurant is really nice though, a lovely terrace and a beautiful old fireplace. We started with aperitifs on the terrace with some amazing amuse bouches. We then moved inside to eat as it was a little cold. Every course was divine. Lobster, goose liver, sweetbreads all excellent. The service was also excellent. For the quality of the food it really was reasonably priced. A perfect overnight treat.
