Le Chancel sur Conde-Sur-L'Escaut

08/02/2026: Le Moulin de Croy was a wonderful discovery. It ticks all the boxes. The chef personally presents the menu, knows the origin and history of his ingredients, and even shows you the cut of meat you ordered and flames it right in front of you! The restaurant itself is lovely, well-decorated, with well-spaced tables, all handmade by the chef (of course!). The ingredients are high-quality and homemade. They are passionate people, proud of their restaurant, and very approachable! It was my first visit, but certainly not my last! Edit: I went back a second time for my birthday, and it was even better! The scallops with the thin slices of tuna that practically danced in the heat, and the vanilla ice cream from a local producer—whatever you have on your plate, it will have been carefully selected and prepared to perfection. The owners are very proud of their business, and rightly so!

07/02/2026: We went there yesterday, as a couple, for the first time, for my birthday. It was absolutely enchanting. First, the magnificent setting and cozy, jazzy atmosphere immediately put us at ease. The table setting (cloth napkins matching the tablecloth), the warm welcome and kindness of the staff and the owner, confirmed our initial impression. And then, the food? It's top-notch. Everything is handmade with local products (producers are even listed on their website). The wine list and prices mean there's something for everyone. Reservations are essential, and it's best to book well in advance for the weekend. We'll definitely be back.
