The story
Pollen is a modern French restaurant at 1 rue Naxhelet in Huy, Belgium, where chef François Durand earned 14 points from Gault&Millau for 2026.
François Durand's modern French cooking starts with what the estate grows. Gault&Millau's 2026 entry describes a plant-based kitchen guided by the garden harvest, with each vegetable given room to show its own character. The menu also draws on local, seasonal produce, so the plates shift with the season.
Pollen sits on the Terres du Val estate, which includes a 4-star hotel surrounded by preserved nature and a golf course. The setting feels more like a country property than a city dining room. Guests can add a wine pairing to their meal.
