To be discovered in rooms decorated with antiques of gastronomy,
in front of an open fire, or under the parasols of a green terrace.
For the benefit of the npo La Rawète.
We offer indeed a surprising menu and guide you in discovering the history of cooking.
A unique experience in Belgium! ... Whose idea was taken up in 2016 by the Préhistomuseum of Flémalle where the historian Pierre Leclercq (who was persuaded by us to focus on the history of cooking) offers four menus the weekend on reservation only.
Dare to our specialties, both for dishes as for drinks! At very reasonable prices...
The food list is established for six months (autumn-winter, spring-summer menu) and the dishes offered are made according to old recipes (the oldest dating back to the fifth century) or are part of the regional heritage; they were selected from books of our Gourmet Library.
The surprise is guaranteed! You can choose online from the menu here published in pdf and book with a phone call on +32 (0) 85 31 42 86.
Also note that the menu gives historical information.
Did you know how old are Maitrank and Jupiler? the rinkinkin and St. Mengold? the saulge saulcisse and snails "en fricassée de poulets"? Belgian waffle and French toast? ^ _ ^
The tavern of the museums, animated by volunteers of our association, is open all year, on Saturday from 14 to 19:00 and Sunday from 11 to 19:00. N.B. please : To allow our volunteers to spend evening with their family, the last orders for cooking are at 18:30 from March to October and at 18:00 from November to February.
In weekdays, reconstitutions of old recipes can be proposed to the groups as museum's animations – please, see behind.
Please, note: it will not be possible to use the system to "draw" extra money because we only have a small cash.
