La Cantina
Namur, Belgium
The read// why locals go
La Cantina sends out Mediterranean tapas from a corner of Rue de la Halle, one dining room and one terrace run by its own owners. The card mixes Spanish classics with looser inventions: pan con tomate at the plainest end, croquettes filled with black truffle, lamb grilled on a skewer, fried squid that Namur food bloggers keep coming back for. Plates run from about four euros to fifteen, so a meal is assembled rather than ordered, and there are larger shared platters for a table that wants everything at once. It stays a restaurant rather than a bar, serving lunch and dinner every day, with a private room for ten and a terrace that fills first when the sun reaches the street.
