The story
Auberge du Château de Leignon, at Rue de Sacré-Coeur 1 in Ciney, Belgium, runs a market-driven kitchen that Gault&Millau scored at 13 points for 2026.
Isabelle Arpin leads the kitchen, and the estate describes her as a renowned and committed chef. Gault&Millau praises her refined, inventive market cuisine, built on a short menu with balanced flavours. The lunch she signs is also part of the estate's "Vivez Leignon Autrement" experience, which pairs it with a brewery visit.
The restaurant sits within the Château de Leignon estate, where guest rooms are set in the grounds. Artisanal beer is made on site, and the brewery tour includes a tasting. Pralines, macarons and other sweets come from the chocolaterie, handmade by Jérôme and Raphaël. Michelin lists the restaurant as Recommended for 2026.
