L'Estaminet du Vieux Liège
Liège, Belgium
The read// why locals go
L'Estaminet du Vieux Liège occupies a room on Rue Hors-Château that has barely changed since the 1950s. Boulets à la liégeoise — meatballs in the region's dark sirop de Liège — lapin à la liégeoise, and Liège waffles make up the local canon, cooked without modernisation for regulars who eat here every week. The syrup goes on everything it should. Mains sit around €20, in a setting most cities would have redeveloped decades ago. An estaminet is a small traditional tavern, and this is what one looks like when nobody has been allowed to improve it.
