Restaurant De Refugie is an established gem in Tienen. Since 1995, food enthusiasts have been enjoying a flavorful French cuisine, with a strong emphasis on fish dishes. The restaurant quickly gained recognition in the culinary world and has long been a pioneer in the bistronomy movement. The interior of De Refugie was renovated a few years ago, with a bistronomic approach that combines modern, cozy materials.
At the helm of this beautiful establishment are Chef Jean-François and his wife Katrien. Jean-François is responsible for the original and flavorful dishes in the kitchen, while Katrien, undoubtedly the friendliest hostess in the region, presents them in the dining area and manages the service. She serves guests with natural flair and ensures everyone feels at home.
Jean-François enjoys preparing classics such as sole à l’Ostendaise or confit pig cheeks, as well as contemporary creations. Everything is made à la minute, with dishes focused on fresh, seasonal ingredients. Guests can choose à la carte dishes or opt for the monthly menu in 3 (€52) or 4 courses (€65). A tempting lunch menu is also available for €27, and Friday is traditionally fish day.
