La Barbastelle

With or without the combined visit of the caves of Goyet, the menu of the Barbastelle restaurant surprises with unpublished historical dishes  allowing you to live an original culinary experience. In the dining room or on the terrace nestled in a bucolic setting, the historian chef of gastronomy Pierre Leclercq offers original dishes from collections of ancient recipes. 

Every day, enjoy the Cro-Magnon lunch (9 €): cereal bread, a piece of smoked ham, fresh goat cheese, dried fruit, fruit syrup and arugula in season. Simply good and on top prehisto-compatible.

All these ingredients could have been consumed by our ancestors. The plus is to enjoy his meal with a real knife in flint. In terms of taste, we rely on the know-how of local artisans who provide us with delicious products.
